Trailer tips over, 31 cows roamed I-5 near Wilsonville
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) -- Cattle on the freeway is never a good thing.
A livestock trailer tipped over, closing both sides of I-5 at the Wilsonville road exit for a time., TVFR tweeted. Crews worked to contain the cows roaming the freeway. Northbound I-5 re-opened around 4:15 p.m., but it took a little longer for the southbound lanes to open.
But all lanes were re-opened around 5 p.m., TVFR said.
There were 31 cows that got loose on the freeway.
The cattle were loaded into another trailer to allow traffic to begin moo-ving again.
TVFR said the driver of the tipped trailer did not need to be taken to a hospital for treatment.
