BOULDER CITY, Nev. (AP) — A lamb on the lam for several hours after a tractor-trailer crash in Nevada killed 74 fellow sheep has been caught and is now being cared for by a foster family.
A baby girl sheep nicknamed Dodger ran loose Monday after a big rig overturned and sent its animal cargo onto a highway. It shut down traffic on part of U.S. 95 near Boulder City.
Animal control said 74 of the 250 shearing sheep heading from Cedar City, Utah, to Yuma, Arizona, died. Five others were injured, and five were quickly recaptured. Dodger was finally corralled Tuesday morning.
The driver was cited for speeding but wasn’t hurt.
The owners picked up the sheep but gave up Dodger to animal control, which is seeking a permanent home for her.
