Today, on Monday, at about 6 pm, a terrible incident took place, which claimed 30 young chickens’ lives. They were headed to a new farm; there were about 300 of them in total. They were supposed to start a new round in Pilgrims Chicken’s development, but not all of them got there.
The accident happened at the corner of Waco Dr. And Valley Mill Drive. The driver of a truck full of chickens turned left in the wrong place. This set off a chain reaction and resulted in a pile of eleven cars. Fortunately, there were no deaths, except for chickens. However, the truck driver was injured and was taken to the hospital. Doctors report that his condition is stable and that full recovery is possible.
Drivers involved in this accident report that they had to wait for help long enough. They state that several eggs have dropped from the truck. One of the participants in the incident said that it was extremely hot at the site, and, probably, these eggs could become fried eggs for lunch for the drivers. Fortunately, help arrived on time, and no one had time to experience too much discomfort.
Pilgrims Chicken suffered losses due to the incident. The total cost of dead chickens is $200. The purpose of the transport was to provide new areas with the supply of eggs, but now production will slow down. Despite this, the company’s damage did not have a significant negative impact on its economy. It will be able to provide customers with fresh eggs and deliver more chickens on the required farm.
