Shocking footage shows a truck driver plowing on a flock of hundreds of sheep after failing to notice the animals in the middle of the night.
The truck driver, who works for Collins Trucks Adelaide, was driving on a two-lane highway last Wednesday evening when the incident took place.
The driver turns a corner before suddenly turning on the truck’s high beams, revealing the huge flock of sheep trying to cross the road.
A truck collided with a flock of hundreds of sheep on a regional road in South Australia last week – dozens of animals killed
Helplessly, the man slams on the brakes, but can’t avoid bumping into more than 100 animals.
When the truck finally comes to a stop, terrified sheep that survived the incident can run off the road.
“It’s rare for a farmer to move a flock of sheep at 10pm,” a Collins Trucks employee told the Daily Mail Australia.
Gruesome photos of the scene show dozens of corpses scattered across the road and under the truck.
