(La Porte County, IN) - A cow was struck by a motor vehicle in La Porte County this morning.  It happened about 6:45 a.m. on Indiana 2 at 400 West.

La Porte County Sheriff’s Deputy, Scott Boswell, said the motorists involved in the crash were not injured.  The cow was still alive but lying on the shoulder of the highway and not moving.  Damage to the vehicle was significant enough for it to be towed. 

Boswell said a few other cows somehow got out of their pasture and were being rounded up by the owners.  Police vehicles were parked on each side of the highway with their flashing lights activated to draw the attention of oncoming motorists so they slow down while passing the scene.
