Udder disaster: Cows escape after livestock truck crashes outside Atlanta

Causes wrecks, clogs rush-hour traffic

Authorities watch as cows are offloaded from the truck. Officials in Georgia had to call in the cavalry Monday, Oct. 1, 2018, after dozens of cows escaped when a tractor-trailer transporting them overturned on a busy junction north of Atlanta. The truck carrying 89 cows overturned around 3 a.m. on the cloverleaf of Interstate 75 and I-285. Many of the cows scattered, causing wrecks and clogging rush-hour traffic.
