(DAILY POL) – Traffic on Florida’s Turnpike wasn’t moooooving at all for several hours Monday after a cattle hauler caught fire, leaving dozens of cows blocking the roadway, according to authorities.
The hauler’s semi-cab caught fire just before noon near St. Cloud, south of Orlando, according to a Florida Highway Patrol news release.
The driver, a 47-year-old Alabama man, pulled the truck over to the turnpike’s outside shoulder, and opened the cattle trailer door, allowing about 70 cows to escape the smoke and flames.
