There's something fishy in the state of Oregon.
And it's all over the road.
A number of hagfish - aka slime eels - because they have a habit of producing lots of the stuff when stressed - have been involved in a road accident. According to the Police, the driver, Salvatore Tragale, who is not a hagfish, approached roadworks and tried to stop. One container flew off the truck bed and into the southbound lane, while the other containers spilled onto the highway. The flying container hit one vehicle which then caused it and four other vehicles to be pushed into each other. There were no serious injuries to the humans involved. Not too sure of the fate of the fish but their prospects were not good anyway as they were en route to becoming South Korean meals.
The story is here - I found it on the Australian ABC News site although plenty of other news outlets closer to Oregon also had it.
