The driver, a 54-year-old man, told officers that the cattle shifted to the right side as he took the exit, causing him to lose control of the vehicle.

He suffered minor injuries and was checked out by paramedics, police said. It is unclear if any cattle were killed or injured during the accident.

Another 18-wheeler later arrived to transfer the cattle.
