FORTY cows are stranded in Virginia after a livestock hauler crashed in Frederick County.
A livestock hauler, carrying cows near Winchester, Va., crashed, leaving 40 cows loose in Frederick County.
The livestock hauler was moving 110 cows when he overturned his vehicle near Route 37 and Tasker Road on Monday night.
The cows scattered following the crash, with the sheriff’s office and animal control working together to recover the cattle. The road was shut down for close to seven hours.
Some of the cows went west towards Interstate 81 and east into a wooded area.
The Frederick County Sheriff’s Office is warning residents to look out for the cows if they are driving near the crash.
“Loose cattle may be crossing roadways as they water. These animals will be difficult to see once night falls,” Capt. Warren W. Gosnell of the Frederick County Patrol Division said to Fox 5.
