The OPP was forced to close part of Perth Line 56 for five hours overnight after chicken renderings spilled on the road just east of Topping.
A truck driver, who was transporting the cargo, made a hard stop to avoid another vehicle just before 9:15pm. While he avoided a collision, police say the contents of the truck, which had not been covered with a tarp, spilled onto the road due to the sudden stop.
The chicken trimmings coated a 100 meter section of the road, making it slippery.
The Ministry of the Environment was advised of the spill. The road was closed until 2:30am on Wednesday.
The 44-year-old truck driver from St. Marys has been charged with not properly securing a load on a commercial vehicle under the Highway Traffic Act.
