V12P09 – Large Animal Crash Response

For the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department, it was not a typical scene that they were about to respond to on an early morning. Dispatchers started receiving calls about 2:00 A.M. concerning cows running loose on the highway. What first responders came upon was quite unusual for a major metropolitan city. A large cattle trailer had overturned and some of the cattle had escaped, roaming free on the exit ramp.
