On Wednesday, July 29, 2015 at approximately 9:48pm, Grey County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) received a report of a collision after a vehicle struck a cow on Grey Rd. 3 in the Township of Chatsworth.
A 1995 Ford MGG was travelling southbound on Grey Rd. 3 near Grey Rd. 16 when it crested a hill and struck a cow which had been standing in the middle of the southbound lane.
The lone driver of the vehicle, a 37-year old male from Neustadt, was not injured.
The cow had suffered fatal injuries as a result of the collision.
Grey County OPP remind motorists that domestic animals at large pose just as much of a hazard to the motoring public as wild animals, therefore, always scan the road ahead, use high beam lights at night whenever possible and, of course, slow down especially at night as some domestic animals are more difficult to see than wild animals due to their dark colouring and dull eyes.
