Frozen chicken truck slams into Nissan dealership

072707_chicken.jpgYou just can't ask for a better way to end the week than a truck full of frozen chickens crashing into a car dealership. Admit it — it's classic, and it opens the door to all sorts of bad jokes: So, a chicken flies into a car dealership ...

The accident happened around 1:30 a.m. at Robbins Nissan on Highway 59 near FM 1960. The driver of the poultry-laden big rig reportedly lost control of the truck after a blowout, went off the road and smashed into several cars parked on the Robbins lot: "He crossed over the median. He crossed over the service road. He came right through here. He struck approximately 20 other vehicles," Brian Waldroup with the Humble Police Department told KTRK. The damage: about 20 Sentras and Maximas. The truck driver wasn't injured, fortunately; no word on how much chicken was lost.
