Irony.
Trucker killed when meat truck hits cow

http://www.seattlepi.com/local/6420ap_or_meat_truck_cow.html

GOVERNMENT CAMP, Ore. -- Oregon State Police say a Vancouver, Wash., man died early Thursday when his tractor-trailer rig collided with a big cow on U.S. Highway 26, hit some trees and burst into flames.

Police say 54-year-old Dusty Lee Mings worked for Western Boxed Meat Distributors of Portland and was hauling meat products.

The crash took place on the Warm Springs Indian Reservation about 17 miles east of Government Camp.

A state police statement says the area is open range, where livestock can roam at large. The cow was found dead down an embankment.

The accident closed the highway for five hours.

Weird.

9. I believe it was a cow not a bull.

(of course it is sad that the man died as well, but can't we have a little black humor now and then?)

10. Actually, shouldn't the corporation that heads the meat
packer or slaughter house take the karma hit? The poor trucker was just trying to earn a living.
