SEABROOK, N.H. (AP) – Almost two dozen roosters and chickens were killed Easter Sunday when a car crashed their coop.

Police say a Newburyport, Mass., man was drunk when he drove his car over two medians, went airborne and flew 60 feet into a Seabrook barn and coop. Twenty birds were killed in the crash.

David Rice, 53, was charged with aggravated drunk driving and reckless conduct. His car careened off an off-ramp at a high speed, police said.

He was arrested, treated for minor injuries and is scheduled to appear in court on June 15.
