Constable Mark Bolten said the inconvenience caused by a cattle truck on Tuesday, July 4 at 5pm, was enough to start the ball rolling... He said if nothing is done to change the situation Police will start laying criminal charges... It took over two hours to free the truck and remove 31 cows... The driver and cattle received no injuries and no alcohol was involved... He said the driver had previously been driving a smaller truck and didn't know anything was wrong until he hit the bridge...
