According to Hemenway, after the truck was righted and the animal parts that spilled out were reloaded during the night, the truck continued on to its Topsham destination. There was still a strong smell of diesel fuel and dead animals at the scene. “There was a lot of vomiting going on last night,” Hemenway said.
