DALLAS (AP) — A 20-year-old man has been charged with driving while impaired after the cattle truck he was driving overturned, closing a major Dallas freeway for about nine hours. Dallas County Sheriff’s spokeswoman Carmen Castro says Marcus Melvin Brownlow of Palestine was booked into the Dallas County jail after the 1:30am Thursday crash of his truck on Interstate 35E northbound at the Trinity River Bridge. Castro says deputies suspect amphetamines were a factor in the crash.
Dr. Tim Holt was a veterinarian called to the scene. He says 16 of the 89 cows in the trailer died in the accident or had to be euthanized, and the others were captured.
