Danger: Beware of Falling Cows

Nov 6 02:27 PM US/Eastern

MANSON, Wash. (AP) - Charles and Linda Everson were driving back to their hotel when their minivan was struck by a falling object—a 600-pound cow.
The Eversons were unhurt but the cow, which had fallen off a cliff, had to be euthanized.

The year-old cow fell about 200 feet from the cliff and landed on the hood of the couple's minivan, causing heavy damage.

A Chelan County fire chief, Arnold Baker, said the couple missed being killed by a matter of inches in the accident Sunday on a highway near Manson.

The Eversons, visiting the area from their home in Westland, Mich., to celebrate their first wedding anniversary, were checked at Lake Chelan Community Hospital as a precaution.

Everson, 49, said he didn't see the cow falling and didn't know what happened until afterward.

He said he kept repeating: "I don't believe this. I don't believe this."

How do you know it was soloing? Maybe it just failed to tie in properly.

Cows are better than that. She was probably using Aliens as anchors.

I'm sure it did the best it could, with the absence of opposable thumbs and all.

Maybe it was because he used a cordolette instead of the newest/better thingy, what's it called again?

You're all insensitive clods!! Please have respect for this cow's family and friends. Now is not the time to speculate on what might have happened. It could have been any one of us splayed on that windshield.
