CAMDENTON, Mo. — The smell of turkey guts will be sticking around for a while, Camdenton police say, after a semi-truck carrying the substance crashed on Highway 54, on Thursday morning.

According to the Camdenton Police Department, at around 7 a.m. on June 16, a Jeep Cherokee driven by a Camdenton woman pulled in front of a semi-truck that was headed west at Highway 54 and McCrory Drive. The semi-truck driver hit the brakes, causing the turkey innards the truck was carrying to slosh out of the top of the trailer. The truck then crashed into the Jeep.

No injuries were sustained by either driver, police say. The driver of the Jeep was cited for Failure to Yield Right of Way.

Missouri Department of Transportation and local fire crews worked to wash the spilled material off the road, but police say the odor of turkey entrails would take a while to dissipate, due to the day’s high temperatures. The offal is a byproduct of turkey processing and is used to make animal food products; the Camdenton Police Department said it is not a toxic waste product.
