this also happened a few years ago on I-24 in southern Illinois, when a driver hit a dead cow in the road, and lost control went into the median then went into concrete wall of a creek. that crashed killed that driver also. can't remember the year, but i believe it was over 10 years or more ago. i think the farmers better do a better job of checking their fences to keep those cows contained.

Texas law says you're responsible if your livestock gets out of your fences. Yes I know this because at age 18 I hit and killed a registered black limousin bull that had just been delivered from South American 3 days prior. It bent my ford F100. The bull hadn't been milked or bred yet. $20,000 down the drain for that farmer. I had a bruise on my leg for almost a year from the steering wheel. __________________

You know a cow is like a deer, you don't stop just nail them. Then pull over and make sure it's not suffering. I bet he braked and swerve....not happening in this truck. Heck two years ago my partner got herself a buffalo out west....okay it was a dead buffalo and we needed a new bumper but she never braked hit it head on.
