Authorities were working Friday morning to remove animal waste spilled on the road in the area of Rosa Parks Way and U.S. 77.

A rendering truck dropped some of its contents onto the road for about a quarter of a mile, said Deputy Fire Chief Bruce Sellon.

Animal waste is considered a health hazard, so the fire department was working closely with the health department and Public Works to remove the mess, Sellon said.

Officer Katie Flood said police sent an officer to the area to help manage traffic after the call came in at 7:07 a.m.
