Clay County—This morning at 10:45, Indiana State Police Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Officer Master Trooper Kent Winstead stopped a white Mitsubishi refrigerated food delivery truck for a routine inspection in the westbound lanes of Interstate 70 near the 23 mile marker.

During the inspection of the cargo area, approximately 40 dozen eggs were found to have tumbled onto the floor, broke open and deposited a large amount of liquid egg yolk. Lying in the yolk were approximately five pounds of mushrooms and ten pounds of broccoli which had also fallen and separated from their box containers.

 The five pounds of mushrooms and ten pounds of broccoli were seized by Clay County Health Department investigator Jane Stark and destroyed. The remainder of the meat and vegetable load was not in violation and not seized.

The driver, Dong Xie, age 40, of Fontana, California was cited by Master Trooper Winstead for a Class A infraction of Transporting Food Not in Compliance with Health Department Rules and released. The delivery company was Eternal Trading Corporation of Cincinnati, Ohio and the load was bound for Asian style food restaurants in Terre Haute, IN.
