CROWN POINT | A load of human feces spilled on to Indiana 55 at Greenwood Avenue in Crown Point about 10:30 a.m. Thursday.
The semi-truck driver Matthew Ferrell told Crown Point Police he was hauling treated human feces from the Portage Water Recycling Plant. The spill closed northbound and southbound Indiana 55 at Franciscan Drive and Burrell Drive for clean up.
Ferrell did not have paperwork for the load and was issued a citation for the unsecured load by the Indiana Department of Transportation.
The Crown Point Fire Department, Lake County Hazmat and the Indiana State Police responded to the spill, then cleaned and reopened the roadway.
Long as I remember The rain been coming down. Clouds of Mystery pouring Confusion on the ground. Good men through the ages, Trying to find the sun; And I wonder, Still I wonder, Who'll stop the rain.
