Three semi-trucks were involved in a wreck on Interstate 80 that left cattle scattered over several miles of I-80, according to the York County Sheriff's Department.
At 6:38 p.m. on Monday, deputies were dispatched to a multi-vehicle collision in the eastbound lanes at mile marker 354, according to Sgt. Taylor Samek, according to a news release from the county.
​Deputies located three separate semi-trucks involved in the collision, along with cattle scattered over several miles of the interstate. An investigation found that a semi-truck parked on the shoulder due to a mechanical issue was struck from behind by a cattle hauler, which then collided with another semi-truck passing by. No injuries were reported by the drivers.
I-80 eastbound was closed for several hours from mile marker 348 to mile marker 360 so emergency crews could investigate, clean up and gather the cattle that escaped during the collision, the department said.
