DNC apologizes after campaign bus dumps raw sewage

LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. (AP) The Democratic National Committee has apologized after one of its campaign buses was spotted dumping raw sewage along a Gwinnett County road.

News outlets report a Lawrenceville auto shop employee alerted police Tuesday morning after witnessing the sewage getting dumped into a storm drain. The bus, which bears the slogan ``Forward Together'' and features the likenesses of presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and running mate Tim Kaine, was in town for an early voting event.

The DNC apologized in a statement, calling it ``an honest mistake.'' A representative later said the sewage container was full and the driver was concerned about the contents leaking.

Gwinnett County fire hazmat crews cleaned up the spill, which included a large amount of drying toilet paper on the roadway. Georgia's Environmental Protection Division is investigating.
