Dead chickens were scattered across the parking lot of the House of Praise For All People church outside Greenwood Saturday after an SUV and livestock truck collided at the nearby intersection.

The driver of the truck was trapped in his vehicle after the crash, according to the Greenwood Volunteer Fire Company.

Both drivers were taken to Milford Memorial Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, reported WMDT 47.

Five other times animals were dumped onto Delaware roads

The truck driver works for Valley Proteins, according to his Facebook page. The company disposes of animal waste for slaughterhouses, poultry companies, restaurants and supermarkets.

The chickens were already dead and had been dyed blue. They were being taken to a local rendering plant, according to comments on Facebook.

Trucks carrying chickens — both dead and alive — frequently crash in Delaware, leaving grisly scenes of carnage behind them.

Two animal rights activists in June attempted to rescue an injured chicken after one such crash, but it quickly succumbed to its injuries.
