Chinese food spills onto road near Union
Deputies with the Cass County Sheriff’s Office spent several hours Wednesday morning cleaning chicken, vegetables and egg rolls off the road north of Union after a refrigerated truck flipped onto its side, spilling the food it was carrying.
Oscar Cervantes-Preciado, 34, of Kansas City, Mo., was northbound on U.S. 75 around 5:55 a.m. when he swerved to miss a deer, according to the sheriff’s office.
The 2008 Kenworth refrigerator straight truck went onto the shoulder and flipped, spilling meat, vegetables and condiments destined for a Chinese restaurant in Bellevue.
A health department inspector condemned the load of food, and the truck was reloaded and sent back to Kansas City, said Lt. Larry Burke. It took until 9:30 a.m. to clean up the mess, he said.
