Blount County deputies say hundreds of FedEx packages have been found in a ravine north of Birmingham.

Investigators say between 300 and 400 packages of different sizes were thrown in the ravine.

They say FedEx is sending trucks and drivers from across the south to start picking up the packages.

The Sheriff's Office says it will keep a deputy at the scene until everything is picked up.

Investigators are trying to figure out how the packages ended up in the woods.
