Watch: Big-Rig Carrying 150-Plus Cows Overturns in Palmdale

PALMDALE — A big rig flipped onto its side Friday morning in Palmdale and set loose some of the more than 150 cows it was hauling, prompting a scramble as deputies, firefighters and animal control workers worked to corral the bovines.

The crash happened at about 11:15 a.m. at a roundabout at East Palmdale Boulevard and 47th Street, according to a sheriff's deputy.

Even a few local ranchers pitched in to help rustle up the doggies, the deputy said.

The big rig driver was uninjured, according to a Los Angeles County Fire Department inspector who said crews were working into the afternoon to find a place to temporarily locate the cattle.
