Veronica writes, "I am glad to hear the driver of the semi-truck that crashed on Thursday is doing okay. I noticed it took a significant effort from emergency responders and crews to right the overturned vehicle.

I am writing because there is still a very strong odor lingering at the crash site. Could you please clarify what the truck was hauling? I am curious to know if it was fertilizer, waste from a dairy, or another substance, as the smell is quite heavy when driving past the area."

Update: Local officials say the truck was transporting chicken manure.
