Cattle trailer overturned -- I-220 closed

[vixweb]

I worked one of the wrecks involved- there were several. One driver told me that a cow went over the side of the overpass onto I-20 Apparently, there was some "duckin and divin" going on, which caused all the wrecks. When I got on the scene @ about 12:30 AM, all I saw were a bunch of cops with flash lights running all around- I though they were chasing a fugitive or something. Once I figured out which car was mine, I asked the driver what the heck was going on, and thats when he said they were chasing cows.....
Unfortunately for the cattle, the driver of the truck took that curve WAY too fast, and turned over. Thats why I wouldn't drive a heavy duty wrecker, those guys with lloyds were out there for hours loading and cleaning all that mess. Not fun-

I've heard of kids throwing rocks over overpasses. Not a smart thing to do. But a cow? Now that is something I don't want flying at me! Thank goodness for people like you willing to help clean up the messes like this. That curve in 220 is a bad engineering design IMO... Way to sharp of a curve....
