This story really maxes out the Ick Factor Scale.

Animal carcasses and parts dumped on the Riverview Expressway gave motorists a smelly rush-hour detour Monday and left authorities hunting for whoever dropped the material to the pavement.

Now we get the frequent dead possum or raccoon around here, but this goes way beyond that.

Police blocked a part of the expressway about 4 p.m. and required westbound traffic to use the left turn lane to avoid the mess, Wesener said.

The city street department brought in a front-end loader to clear away the carcasses and other animal parts and scrape the pavement clean.

What really gets me is the fact that police have to hunt for whoever did this. Are there really that many trucks running around up there full of dead critters?
