Eight cows died after a truck carrying them overturned on a bridge near Cudillero in northern Spain on Saturday.
More animals were inside the vehicle as emergency teams prepared to rescue them, according to the Guardia Civil.
The crash happened on the A-8 motorway in Asturias, in the direction of Galicia. The eight animals died after falling from the bridge.
Police called in their nature protection service, Seprona, and requested veterinary support for the animals still inside. Officers closed the motorway so a crane could lift the truck and allow rescuers to reach them.
