Cows on the Freeway in Dallas!

Some idiot who was not licensed to drive the truck carrying this precious cargo of future steak, Whataburgers, and leather, who also thought it was a great idea to drink while driving said vehicle somehow 'overcorrected' his turn (probably fell asleep) and crashed his truck, throwing approximately 80 cattle onto a very busy freeway in Dallas.

Cattle were everywhere. Some died at the scene, some jumped off the ramp and fell into the Trinity River, others (like this one above whom I like to call 'Fred') decided to play tag with the Dallas County Sheriff's office. Thankfully this happened in the wee hours of the morning before rush hour so I don't think anyone else was hurt. It did tie up traffic for a long time.

Idiot driver was arrested and charged with a DWI.
