A Houston police officer found himself chasing two escaped bulls on I-45 Sunday night, according to a report this morning by KHOU.

The driver was getting onto the I-45 ramp from the North Loop around 11:30 p.m. when the bulls apparently got out of their trailer.

One of the animals ran through a neighborhood before a police officer was able to stop his car on the rope it was dragging, according to KHOU.

But the bull got angry and began ramming the officer's squad car until it was finally captured.

The other bull that escaped was hit by a pickup truck and had to be euthanized, KHOU reported.

I had a friend who hit a cow with his pickup - damn near killed him - a good chunk of the engine and transmission came up into the cab.

I was with my brother-in-law up north a few years back, and we hit a deer - totalled the entire windshield, part of the hood and ruined two good pairs of bluejeans.

I didn't mean that to be a quote, it was my friend who hit the cow with his pickup.
