An Utterly Terrible Way To Start Your Morning

A tractor-trailer filled with 89 cows flipped on I-285 in Atlanta early Monday morning, releasing dozens of animals out onto the interstate and surrounding area.

11 cows were killed due to the multi-car pile up and cows were on the loose being spotted near the Chattahoochee River and on I-75 and two cows were caught at the SunTrust bank on Northside Drive near I-285.  Along with police and firefighters, real “cowboys” were called to help wrangle the cows back into the trailer, which took the majority of Monday afternoon. The driver of the overturned tractor-trailer was taken to a nearby hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Crews continued to clean up the scene of the crash and round up the lost cows throughout Monday afternoon. And while the situation was certainly sad, many still took to social media with the typical lightheartedness that follows an unusual traffic jam, complete with terrible puns and Chick-fil-A references.
