Around 6,800 kilos of catfish were scattered along a road in the Kaili Development Zone of Guizhou province after the door of the loading truck carrying the haul accidentally swung open mid-route yesterday afternoon. Thanks to a few determined workers and some extra-long hoses, however, the supply did not go to waste.

KAILI CITY, China, March 19 (UPI) — A faulty latch on the back of a Chinese cargo truck resulted in nearly 10,000 pounds of live catfish being spilled onto a Guizhou Province road.
Crews of firefighters responded Tuesday to the road in Kaili City after the latch on the back of the truck transporting the fish gave way while the vehicle was traveling uphill and spilled its load onto the street.
Firefighters and witnesses gathered the nearly five tons of live catfish and sprayed them with hoses to keep them alive until a bulldozer could scoop them back into the truck.
