A traffic incident involving a gold Volvo occurred today on the southbound lanes of U.S. Highway 101 near Airport Boulevard in Windsor, California. At approximately 2:30 PM, the vehicle struck multiple cows that had wandered onto the roadway. Fortunately, no injuries were reported to any humans involved in the incident.

Emergency services responded promptly to the scene, where it was noted that four cows and a dog were present on the highway. The dog appeared to be attempting to round up the cows. As the situation developed, it was confirmed that several cows had been struck by the vehicle, prompting authorities to manage the scene effectively.

During the incident, only the first lane of the highway remained open for traffic, which caused some delays as emergency personnel worked to clear the area. By 2:39 PM, the California Highway Patrol updated the status of the incident, confirming that it had transitioned from a report of unknown injuries to a traffic collision with no injuries reported.

The roadway was cleared shortly thereafter, allowing traffic to resume normal flow. This incident highlights the importance of remaining vigilant while driving, especially in areas where livestock may be present near roadways.
