FRANKLIN LAKES — A box truck full of chicken wings overturned Monday morning, spilling its contents all over the highway below.

Photos of the wreckage of a Menella’s Poultry Company truck, based in Paterson, were shared by the Franklin Lakes Volunteer Fire Department Facebook page.

Fire officials said Monday morning around 9 a.m., crews responded to the overturned truck, with its driver still trapped inside the vehicle.

The Daily Voice reported that the driver was freed and sent for treatment of non-life threatening injuries. The same report placed the crash on the ramp from northbound Route 208 to northbound 287.
