Truck full of sewage spills load to avoid collision

The unfortunate near collision between a truck carrying human waste and a ute driver in Queensland was bad enough when photos of the accident first appeared.

Now with footage of the incident surfacing online overnight, the full extent of the lost load and its forceful spray will no doubt make many people glad that smell-a-vision isn't readily available.

Almost every toilet pun was published when this truck and its 27 tonnes of waste were forced to brake in Toowoomba last month.

From a bad case of the runs, to losing its load, there was no escape for this poor semi-driver who was forced to slam on the brakes to avoid a merging car.

Two tonnes of waste shot through the tarpaulin cover of the trailer and sprayed on the road, the Brisbane Times reported.

Commenting at the time of the accident, Arkwood Organic Recycling co-director Elissa Clarke described carrying the unstable load as "like carting a fish bowl".

"Tell people not to pull out in front of trucks, because you don't know what they're carrying," she added.
