When a truck carrying over 100,000 salmon crashed and overturned in Oregon, US, it might have spelled disaster for the fish aboard, which were intended to replenish local populations in the Imnaha River.But in a miraculous twist of fortune, over 70,000 of the fish landed in a nearby creek and are expected to survive.The accident took place on March 29 in northeast Oregon, according to a news release from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. The truck was carrying 102,000 spring Chinook smolts, or young salmon, in the life phase in which they transition from freshwater to the open ocean.
