Cows on the Loose in Kansas City After Truck Carrying Over 120 Crashes
Authorities have asked drivers to use caution while crews cleared the crash site and searched for the remaining cattle.
Over 120 cattle were on board a semi-truck that overturned in downtown Kansas City, Missouri, early Sunday morning, causing the animals to roam freely on city streets and highways. Authorities have been searching for the cows since before 5 am, with several still missing. The Kansas City Police Department (KCPD) and Kansas City Fire Department (KCFD) are working together to locate the escaped animals, employing various methods such as drones and thermal imaging technology.
Some cattle died in the crash, while others remained inside the trailer, and many escaped into the surrounding area. The crash occurred on Interstate 70 near Admiral Boulevard, resulting in injuries to one person from each of the involved vehicles. Emergency crews have closed the east side of the downtown loop while they investigate the wreck and search for the missing cattle.
Drivers are urged to exercise caution while authorities clear the crash site and track down the remaining animals. Anyone who spots a cow is advised to contact the KCPD non-emergency line at 816-234-5111 or the KCFD non-emergency line at 816-924-0600.
