PHOTOS: Thousands of crayfish crawl highway after crash

One ton of live crayfish worth of RMB50,000 made a last ditch to claw onto life after a road accident in Anhui Province.

The driver was delivering his delicious cargo from Chang Feng Town to Shou Xian.

But he crashed, rolling the truck for 500 meters along the highway.

The entire lane was occupied by the crawling crayfish, causing a traffic jam as vehicles backed up.

But the Long Arm of the Law were soon on the scene, shoveling up the mess... and preventing greedy looters from snapping them up.
