Truck overturns in Kansas, sending dozens of cows loose on the roads: ‘It was a pretty nasty accident’

Dozens of cows ended up loose on the roads in Kansas City, Missouri, after a semitruck carrying more than 100 cattle crashed off a highway overpass, according to ABC News. The tractor-trailer fell from the westbound I-70 curve onto southbound I-35, landing on a car below and scattering surviving animals around the city.

The crash happened shortly before 3 a.m., according to authorities. Kansas City Police Sergeant Phil DiMartino said the truck was carrying between 120 and 130 cattle, with an estimated 45 to 60 killed in the accident. Both the truck driver and the motorist who got into the accident sustained minor injuries and were treated at local hospitals. However, it was not clear who was at fault.
