Truck Overturns in Kansas City, Killing Dozens of Cows and Causing Dozens More to Roam Streets
More than 120 cattle were on board, and crews are working to herd loose animals after diesel spilled and one person from each vehicle was hospitalized.
- On Sunday, October 18, 2026, an overturned semi-truck hauling more than 120 cattle closed part of the downtown loop in Kansas City, Missouri, after crashing near I-70 and Admiral Boulevard around 3 a.m.
- The tractor-trailer plunged from the westbound I-70 curve over SB I-35, landing on another vehicle and spilling diesel fuel. One person from each vehicle was transported to a hospital with injuries.
- Sergeant Phil DiMartino with the Kansas City Police Department reported that between 45 and 60 cattle died in the crash, while many others scattered across a three-mile area from Crown Center to Kansas City, Kansas.
- Authorities deployed drones and thermal imaging technology to locate the animals, while private contractors arrived on horseback to assist firefighters and police in wrangling the remaining cattle throughout the afternoon.
- By Sunday afternoon, DiMartino confirmed all cows were accounted for, though drivers were urged to use caution downtown due to anticipated traffic from the National Football League game.
