A rig full of cows overturned early this morning, creating a chaotic scene that closed Timmen Road south of La Center.
Emergency crews were called to Timmen Road near Spencer Road at about 1:45 a.m. for a single-vehicle crash, Clark County Fire & Rescue spokesman Tim Dawdy said.
A truck was traveling north when it went off the west side of the road, shearing off a power pole, rolling and coming to rest in a ditch, Dawdy said.
Firefighters extricated the driver, who suffered minor injuries and was taken to an area hospital, Dawdy said.
Some cows died and others were injured and had to be euthanized on scene, Dawdy said.
