Rock Hill I-77 exit closed after truck spills animal parts

A spill involving “animal parts” has closed the 82-C ramp to northbound Interstate 77. A tractor trailer carrying animal parts reportedly lost some of its load on the 82-C ramp when it braked suddenly.

Rock Hill Police say they cited the truck driver for causing the spill. Officials say a cleanup crew has been called to the scene. The driver of the truck was not injured.

There is not an estimated time of when the ramp will reopen. Officials recommend drivers take alternate routes. The company involved with this spill was Valley Protein.

WRHI’s news partner Channel 9 has investigated Valley Protein in the past for several animal part spills. This includes a spill last month when a truck spilled animal carcasses in Cleveland County along US 74.

The company also was involved in a spill in March 2017 when animal parts spilled all over Highway 321.
