Minnesota Semi-Truck Accident: 10 Cows Killed, Driver Injured

Early morning tragedy on Highway 16 in Minnesota: Semi-truck driver kills ten cows. A tragic accident unfolded on Highway 16 in Minnesota on Saturday morning around 4:30 AM. A semi-truck driver collided with a herd of cows that had somehow escaped from a nearby farm. The low light conditions likely contributed to the driver's inability to avoid the animals. "It was still dark outside," Trucking True Crime podcast host explains, "and the cows were in the middle of the road." Ten cows were killed, and one sustained severe injuries. The driver, a 52-year-old male, was also injured but his injuries are considered non-life threatening. The incident highlights the dangers of livestock escaping onto roadways, particularly in rural areas and during low-light hours. Authorities are investigating the circumstances surrounding the cows' escape. Despite the tragic loss of life, the fact that the driver survived is a positive aspect of this unfortunate event.
