Flying Cows and Illegal Immigrants
It was a wild night in Texas.
First up, a cow comes flying out of its trailer:
"We believe the gate of the cattle trailer came open, and the cow, for lack of a better phrase spilled out onto the Interstate. It was pretty chaotic for a while."
Several cars hit some of the cows. One cow died. DPS troopers called for backup.
and... bring on the illegal immigrants:
That's when one officer was nearly run down by a speeding truck, carrying two illegal immigrants inside.
Turns out the police were literally hot on the trail, and chased the two on foot. But the police parked their cars in the hot grass, and the cars burst into flame.
"Well, all of a sudden, another officer who'd arrived on the scene, alerted the sergeant that there was a fire."
End result, everything inside the vehicles was destroyed, including tens of thousands of dollars worth of equipment designed for the patrol cars.
"You start off with kind of a bizarre accident with these cows spilling onto the interstate. That leads to other accidents, that leads to a car chase, that leads to a foot chase," Watson recalls.
The two mexican immigrants, ages 21 and 23, were taken into custody for illegally entering the country and evading arrest.
However, I am sure they will be released by the time you read this.
