It’s hard to get an accurate cow head count when Rep.’s John Lewis, Hank Johnson, Sanford Bishop, and David Scott. :)

89 cows on a semi? They had to be crammed in there like sardines. And with that much weight, it was top-heavy. So when the numbskull driver took the ramp at excess speed, it rolled over. It’s elementary, Watson.

Sorry, but I have a beef with comments like that. It steers the conversation in the wrong direction. So quit milking this story for laughs.

To the media types, all bovines are “cows”. If these cattle happened to be young heifers, 89 of them might still have breathing room. But speeding on the exit ramp is still not advised.

It happened before back in the 90s. I was on 285 going from spaghetti junction to Avondale Estates. What a mess! It took hours to clear the wreck and catch all the cows. Iirc some in the truck died.
