Chickens on the run

LONDON, JULY 23. A busy road near Oxford was closed today when around 1,000 chickens escaped from a lorry that collided with four other vehicles, injuring four people. ``They were all over the carriageway,'' said a police spokesman. The birds' escape was short-lived: Thousands of shooting enthusiasts, game keepers and falconers were in the area for a game fair.
