Alabama Officials Urge Drivers to Not Eat Chicken Tenders Spilled on Highway After Crash

Chicken fingers went flying on an Alabama highway Saturday evening following an 18-wheeler car crash.

The sighting prompted a number of hungry drivers and motorists to stop their vehicles and collect the fried snack the next day.

Unfortunately, their desire to chow down caused a significant amount of traffic, which is illegal.

Shortly after the crash, The Cherokee County Emergency Management released a public service announcement warning those traveling on Highway 35 near the Dekalb County line to not stop their vehicles.

“The Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office is asking that no one try to stop to get the chicken tenders that were spilled from the 18 wheeler accident last night on Highway 35. You’re creating a traffic hazard! It’s a crime to impede the flow of traffic,” Cherokee County’s EMA wrote on their Facebook page.

They are so hungry they are willing to endanger themselves in traffic to eat potentially spoiled food strewn on a filthy highway.
