MURPHY, Idaho (AP) — Law enforcement officials in Owyhee County say about 50 head of cattle are dead after a semi carrying more than 100 cattle crashed.
KTVB television in Boise reported that the crash happened Friday near Murphy's Hot Springs, not far from the Idaho-Nevada border.
Owyhee County Sheriff Gary Aman told the station that the driver was stopped on the edge of the road when it gave way, causing the truck to overturn and land in the East Fork of the Jarbidge River.
Aman says residents in the region tried to help save the cattle, but half the animals died.
