Cows Cop It

Driving home from Dinner on Saturday night we saw some police cars ahead. We were about halfway between Ulverstone and Penguin at the time.

As we slowed down I saw a big black shape lying on the median strip but it was too dark to be able to tell properly. As we moved forward there were these massive stains on the road and big wet bits. It was kinda gross.

The police cars were closer at this stage and as we got closer, pulled up on the embankment there was a yellow sports car with the front of it crumpled right up. It seems as though a dozen cows had gotten loose and made it onto the highway. The sports car must've been going at at least 110km when it hit the cows as it was pretty rooted.

We waited on the road as the police herded the cows along the embankment. It was pretty funny shit really. The only photo I got to take was this one below of the lights and the cop telling everyone what had happened. Kinda lame but at least I have the memory.



We were waved along after about 10 minutes and as we were lead car Dad decided to drive at about 70km/hr just in case there were any rogue cows ready to pounce. We formed a convoy of about 12 cars down the highway as no one was game enough to overtake us.

For the cows that lost their lives on Saturday night, let us have a moonutes silence.
