Wiping the scales from their eyes

Drivers in Denmark recently faced delays due to an unforeseen traffic hazard. A truck carrying a load of fish crashed, spilling its contents onto the roadway and causing a blockage. Police had to stop traffic from using the stretch of road until the mess had been cleared away. As fish guts are very slippery, the debris site posed a serious hazard to road safety. Cats in the area seem to have been appreciative of the fracas however.
