A traffic incident occurred today on Marsh Creek Road in Brentwood, California, when a gray Toyota Scion collided with a black cow at approximately 6:15 AM. The driver of the Scion was not injured, and the cow was alive but obstructing the roadway, prompting a quick response from emergency services.
The collision happened near the Clayton Palms area, where the cow was reported to be blocking the road. Emergency responders arrived shortly after the incident was reported, and a tow truck was called to remove the vehicle from the scene. The cow remained alive during the incident, and a rancher was contacted to assist in its relocation.
Traffic on Marsh Creek Road was temporarily affected due to the presence of the vehicle and the cow in the roadway. However, by 8:14 AM, the roadway was cleared, allowing traffic to resume its normal flow. The incident involved only one vehicle, and there were no reported injuries.
This unusual incident serves as a reminder of the potential hazards on rural roads, particularly in areas where livestock may wander onto roadways. Drivers are encouraged to remain vigilant and cautious, especially in regions where wildlife and farm animals may cross paths with vehicles.
