Blood trail leads to sausage

KUETTIGEN, Switzerland (AP) — Swiss police can be excused for fearing the worst. Acting on emergency calls Monday night, they hurried to a rural road in northern Switzerland where horrified motorists reported a long trail of blood.

A police statement Tuesday said officers followed the blood for 12 miles (20 kilometers) to the town of Kuettigen only to find that a butcher’s supply van had spilled its cargo of sausage.
