A cow on loose on I-79 delayed the morning commute for thousands of drivers in Butler County
from Pittsburgh All Local
A cow on loose on I-79 delayed the morning commute for thousands of drivers in Butler County. It was an unusual scene on I-79 this morning—just after 7 AM, drivers began calling 911 about a cow wandering in the median near mile marker 81. State Police, Cranberry Township officers, and New Sewickley firefighters responded, working for hours to safely corral the animal. State Police confirmed to KDKA Radio that the cow was loaded and taken to a local farm where its being temporarily housed. The incident caused major traffic delays, but luckily, no injuries were reported. Officials say the cow appeared unharmed, but local farmers say it’s not theirs—and so far, no one has claimed it. For now, the big question remains: where did the cow come from?
