Photo: SuppliedPart of Townleys Rd in Kaikorai Valley is closed this morning after a major spill of animal products, which may have reached the Kaikorai Stream. A member of the public contacted the Otago Daily Times to say a truck last night spilled "thousands of litres of blood and guts" on the road, which then "ran down the gutters and into the stream". Blood was "flowing down the gutters" and this morning the road remains closed. An ODT reporter at the scene late this morning said the road had been gritted but was still closed.
