Loose Cows close Scotland Road
GLASGOW, Scotland (UPI) -- Escaped cows from a crashed cattle truck wandered onto one of the busiest roads in Scotland, causing officials to close it for a time Wednesday morning. Police closed M73 after a small group of the cows, which were thought to have all been recovered after Tuesday night's crash, wandered back to the road and into traffic at about 4:20 a.m., The Scotsman reported Wednesday. Strathclyde Police said the road was reopened at about 8:30 a.m. after the three animals on the road were killed. One was hit by a truck and two others were shot by police. Railway service was affected for about a half hour Wednesday morning after one of the cows walked onto the tracks and was struck by a train. First Scotrail said four trains on the Glasgow to Whifflet route had to be canceled Wednesday but the service was running normally by 7:25 a.m. Copyright 2008 by United Press International
