A semi-truck trailer overturns after plunging from an overpass in Kansas City, spilling dozens of cattle onto roadways and into downtown areas. Kansas City police say dozens of animals run from the crash scene, and the situation contributes to additional crashes. The public also makes multiple calls reporting cows in the roadway.
Authorities respond with crews searching for escaped livestock and coordinating traffic safety in the affected area. The New York Times reports that some cattle die while others remain at large, with a roundup continuing into the early afternoon. Newsweek and CBS News describe ongoing efforts to clear the crash site and reduce hazards for drivers, including warnings to use caution while cattle are located and secured.
