The Princes Highway near Melbourne was littered with dead and injured sheep after a truck carrying 400 livestock crashed and hung precariously off an overpass last night .
The dramatic crash in Laverton North occurred when the sheep-carrying truck was travelling to Geelong on the Western Ring Road off-ramp at about 9pm(AEST).
The falling sheep hit two vehicles below. One of the cars rolled numerous times but the occupants were not injured, police said. The truck driver is also uninjured.
The inbound Princes Highway has been blocked, with one outbound lane of the Westgate Freeway also closed. Police said the sheep carcasses will likely be cleaned up by council rangers on Friday morning. No other vehicle was involved in the crash.

No one has been seriously hurt? 400 fucking lives have been destroyed. As soon as I heard this this morning I cried. Fuck this. Fuck everyone.How fucking awful, that this happened and no one even wants to acknowledge that it mattered.
Unfortunately relevant to my last post.
They are not “carcasses” they are the bodies of beautiful creatures who should have been given a chance to live.
