Truck carrying 14,000 chickens breaks down on I-90. Mechanics, Addison Fire Department show some pluck trying to save as many as they can in the heat.

He couldn’t tow the truck the nearly 30 miles back to the shop because tipping the trailer up could be even more dangerous for the chickens, Loucks said, so his team chained up an axle and had the semi drive back to Super Truck Service on eight wheels instead of 10. That meant driving 35 to 40 mph down I-90, which wasn’t a very safe option either, Loucks said.
