BEATTYVILLE, Ky. (WKYT) - Crews responded to a messy scene in Beattyville on Wednesday after a truck hauling animal parts lost some of its load on North Highway 11.

Beattyville Mayor Scott Jackson says the truck dropped off the edge of the road, and when the truck came back onto the roadway, part of the load spilled, scattering animal remains across the highway.

Mayor Jackson says the animal parts have been removed from the road, but state highway crews and the health department are on scene Thursday morning to finish cleaning up.

It’s unclear where the truck came from or where it was headed.

This is a developing story.
