Cattle truck overturns on Trans Mountain, 11 cows dead
Eleven cows died after a trailer carrying 112 cattle overturned on Trans Mountain Road in Northeast El Paso early Tuesday morning. A rancher heading to West Texas apparently encountered a strong dust storm on Trans Mountain just after midnight when his truck overturned, officials with the Sheriff's Office said. The driver was not injured. Most of the cattle were recovered, but a few are still roaming the area and are believed to be at a nearby ravine. A rancher from Canutillo assisted in rounding up the cattle, taking in some of the animals, officials said. The roads were closed for a few hours early Tuesday morning but are now reopened. link
