NEW YORK (Reuters) - Spilled animal parts and a Tomahawk missile that tumbled out of a truck caused some of the worst traffic nightmares of 2006, according to a report on roadway incidents.

A meatpacking truck carrying cow body parts was involved in an accident near San Francisco, spilling its cargo across a freeway and causing massive headaches for commuters, said the compilation by Metro Networks traffic reporting firm.

A truck in Houston involved in an accident tumbled off a ramp, breaking open and spilling frozen chickens onto a freeway below.

New York had one of the most bizarre incidents of the year. A truck overturned in the Bronx in July, sending a Tomahawk missile it was carrying onto the roadway.

The weapon did not have a warhead and all ended safely, with no injuries reported.
