Trailer carrying 40 cows rolls over on Highway 89, injuring two people

By The Canadian Press

Police say they expect to lay charges against the driver of a tractor-trailer carrying 40 cows that collided with a pickup truck on Highway 89 northwest of Toronto.

Ontario Provincial Police said the trailer rolled over after the crash near New Tecumseth on Wednesday morning.

They say both drivers were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

OPP spokesman Paul Nancekivell says it appears the transport truck driver was at fault and police are in the process of deciding what charges to lay.

Police say 12 of the cows escaped and had to be corralled at a nearby farm.

Others were trapped in the truck and two had to be euthanized by a veterinarian due to injuries sustained in the crash.
