POTATOES DUMPED ON DANISH BRIDGE IN TAX PROTEST

In Denmark, near Copenhagen, a 57-year-old truck driver was detained Thursday after loads of potatoes were found spilled on a bridge linking two Danish islands. The driver was held on suspicion of dumping the potatoes, causing reckless endangerment to life. A first spill was reported on the westbound side of the Storebaelt bridge at 6.35 a.m. Then, another potato spill on the eastbound side a short time later. A third incident of potatoes on the road was reported near the town of Kolding, which is near the aforementioned Storebaelt bridge. Police said the roads had become slippery and dangerous. Officials noted that the potato spills occurred on the same day as the Danish parliament passed a law to tax diesel trucks transporting heavy loads.
