Just after 2a.m. a semi-tractor trailer hauling horse meat hit the railing and flipped on it's side.
From 2.a.m. to noon, all westbound traffic just before Palisade was diverted to Highway 6 through town and then back up North to the Palisade I-70 access.
Throughout the day crews sent hours power washing the highway trying to get the meat and grease off the roadway. Crews were worried the grease would lead to more accidents if not properly cleaned.
The horse meat was on it's way to California to be processed into dog food. Rescue crews believe the driver fell asleep just seconds before hitting the guardrail. The driver walked away from the accident with minor injuries.
