Dozens of cattle spilled onto a street in Kansas City, Missouri, when a semitractor-trailer plunged off a highway overpass in the city's downtown area and onto a car early Sunday, shutting down some roads and setting off a search for the traumatized animals that survived. The accident occurred shortly before 3 a.m. and the roundup of surviving cattle continued into the early afternoon, authorities said. The driver of the truck and the driver of a vehicle the truck landed on sustained minor injuries and were treated at local hospitals, they said. Kansas City Police Sgt. Phil DiMartino said that between 45 and 60 of the 120 to 130 cattle carried by the truck were killed when the tractor-trailer overturned and fell from the westbound I-70 curve over SB I-35.
