Roadside memorial proposed in honour of chickens who died in Waterford lorry crash

It is understood that some of the chickens were killed while others were trapped in their containers pending the arrival of the emergency services.

A truck carrying hundreds of chickens overturned on a motorway between Waterford and Kilkenny last week.

The driver, described as a man in his 50s, was taken to University Hospital Waterford where he was treated for minor injuries.
