Cows run wild through Kansas City after livestock truck crashes off overpass

  • A semitrailer carrying 120 to 130 cattle fell off an I-70 overpass in downtown Kansas City , Missouri , crushing a vehicle early Sunday morning.
  • The crash resulted in the deaths of 45 to 60 cattle and left both the truck driver and the motorist with minor injuries.
  • Dozens of surviving cattle escaped onto city streets, triggering secondary traffic accidents and numerous emergency calls.
  • Emergency teams used drones and horseback searchers to locate and capture the loose animals, eventually accounting for all cattle by Sunday afternoon.
  • Despite the crash occurring on the same day as a Kansas City Chiefs game, officials did not anticipate major traffic disruptions for football fans.
