A man from Mount Forest is facing charges after police say the cattle carrier he was driving collided with a cement barrier on the 401, allowing cows to get out and wander the highway near Mississauga.
The crash happened around 11:30 p.m. Friday night, forcing drivers to dodge around the animals before the OPP closed the highway.
Unfortunately, 12 cows died in the trailer.
36 year old George Scott has been slapped with a Careless Driving charge. He also sustained minor injuries.
