Numerous cattle fell onto passing cars on a busy highway in Utah after a semi-truck crashed on Wednesday.
The lorry, which was going 45mph crashed on an overpass in Riverdale, showering cars with at least 25 cows, reported KUTV.
The ramp from southbound I-15 to eastbound I-84 was closed on the I-84 bridge as emergency response teams arrived at the scene.

Many of the cows died and were seen laying in pools of blood across the road. Troopers said they did not know how many cattle were killed in the crash however.
Many commuters were left dumbfounded after cows landed on their vehicles while they were driving.
Kerri Kofoed said she was commuting to work in Layton when ‘a cow fell out of the sky and hit my car.’
She told KSL: ‘A big, black blob came flying at my windshield and the next thing I knew my airbags deployed and I slammed into the median wall.’

‘He fell and hit me right here, smacked my windshield and bounced off. I did what anybody would do, slammed on my breaks.’
‘I saw them in my mirrors as my airbags deployed, all slammed down behind and around. I’m guessing he was one of the last ones that fell, and I think he landed on top of the others and he started wandering.’
The incident caused heavy traffic on both I-84 eastbound and I-15 southbound for several hours while people cleaned the cattle from the road.
