Tipped truck splatters Connecticut homes with giant wave of liquid poop

Connecticut neighbors are in deep doo doo after a manure truck tipped over and splattered their homes, yards and cars with a giant wave of liquid poop, they said.
“It was like literally a waterfall of brown,” neighbor Ann Bedard of Pomfret told WVIT-TV . “All of a sudden, we see the sewer come out of the truck and then the petrol was coming out of the top. It was just flooded down our property.”
The rig rolled over and collided with a car in the sleepy neighborhood Tuesday — spraying gallons of the stinky goop across the side of Bedard’s house.

The flood of feces covered a neighbor’s car and caused a pond-sized puddle of poop to pool up between their yards, she told the station.
“I heard bang, like bang bang, loud, metal,” said Bedard, who lives near Deerfield and Brayman Hollow roads.
“I went, ‘Oh geez, oh my gosh, the truck was upside down.’ You literally see tires, and it was still kind of like in motion. It finally came to a stop after it hit my neighbor’s car.”
Diesel and hydraulic fluid also spilled from the truck but Pomfret Fire Department Chief Brett Sheldon said there was no immediate safety threat.

The truck driver was transported to a hospital with minor injuries. It was not clear what caused the truck to flip over.
Workers with M. Provost Trucking of Putnam were helping with clean up Wednesday helping to clean up the mess.
We’re going down three or four inches to make sure that nothing seeped beyond that,” said Nicholas Provost, who co-owns the company with his dad. “Then we’ll come back in tomorrow with fresh material and seed and replace everything that gets dug up today.”
