(Elkhart County, IN) - Multiple people were injured and multiple vehicles damaged in a roadway collision with a cow.

It happened on SR 19 between Elkhart and Wakarusa just before 3:00 am Thursday morning.

According to the Elkhart County Sheriff’s Office, here’s how it went down:

First, a northbound Mercedes-Benz hit a cow in the roadway. The unfortunate bovine lurched into the opposite lane, where it was struck by a motorcycle. The cycle was hit from behind by a Honda Civic, which was rear-ended by a Dodge Ram pickup. Once those vehicles were off the roadway, a Ford Edge came upon the scene and hit the dead cow in the middle of the road.

Several injuries were reported, but none of them serious. Obviously, the cow got the worst of it.
