Sharp curve in road nets big fish spill

WHITING, Maine -- There's something fishy in Whiting, Maine.

For the third time, a fish truck has accidentally dumped its load in Esther MacLaughlin's front yard, located on a sharp turn near the intersection of highways 189 and 1.

Maine State Police say a truck carrying at least 22,000 pounds of lobster-bait herring overturned on the curve Saturday, spilling its cargo and injuring the driver.

Trooper Andrew Foss said the driver blew a tire as he drove through the curve, causing the truck to flip on its side. The driver was hospitalized with leg injuries. The truck sustained $25,000 in damage.
