Live Turkeys Fall Off Truck in New Jersey
Nov 18 4:06 PM US/Eastern
Maybe they knew what was coming.
Two dozen live turkeys bound for Thanksgiving tables fell off a truck Friday on the New Jersey Turnpike, briefly snarling traffic near Newark Liberty International Airport.
"I think we should be investigating this as an escape attempt," said Joseph Orlando, a spokesman for the New Jersey Turnpike Authority.
The two crates fell as a truck was leaving the highway, and a toll booth supervisor who spotted them contacted authorities. The birds, which survived the fall, will presumably be returned to the trucker _ if the driver notices they're missing, Orlando said.
