堪萨斯城，密苏里州 — — 当一辆半挂式牵引拖车在市中心地区高速公路立交桥上冲下并坠落到一辆汽车上时，数十头牛洒落到堪萨斯城的一条街道上，导致部分道路封闭，并引发对幸存受惊动物的搜救。
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Dozens of cattle spilled onto a street in Kansas City, Missouri, when a semitractor-trailer plunged off a highway overpass in the city’s downtown area and onto a car early Sunday, shutting down some roads and setting off a search for the traumatized animals that survived.
事故发生在周日凌晨3点左右，幸存牛只的收容工作一直持续到当天下午早些时候，当局表示。
The accident occurred shortly before 3 a.m. and the roundup of surviving cattle continued into the early afternoon, authorities said.
货车司机以及被货车压中的车辆司机均受轻伤，并在当地医院接受治疗，他们表示。
The driver of the truck and the driver of a vehicle the truck landed on sustained minor injuries and were treated at local hospitals, they said.
堪萨斯城警察警长菲尔·迪马蒂诺表示，当时卡车上载有120至130头牛，当牵引拖车翻覆并从西行I-70弯道跌落到南行I-35上方时，有45至60头牛因此死亡。
Kansas City Police Sgt. Phil DiMartino said that between 45 and 60 of the 120 to 130 cattle carried by the truck were killed when the tractor trailer overturned and fell from the westbound I-70 curve over SB I-35.
他还说，另有数头牛逃离事故现场，导致其他事故发生，并引发公众更多报警求助。
Dozens of other cows fled the crash scene, resulting in other crashes and more calls to the police from the public, he said.
“目前认为所有牛都已被清点完毕，”迪马蒂诺在周日下午更新的新闻稿中表示。
“It is believed all cows have now been accounted for,” DiMartino said in an updated press release Sunday afternoon.
事故发生当天，堪萨斯城酋长队正在主办对阵洛杉矶闪电队的国家橄榄球联盟比赛。由于此次事故广受关注，当局并未预见到比赛交通会出现重大干扰。
The accident occurred on a day when the Kansas City Chiefs were hosting the Los Angeles Chargers in a National Football League game. Major disruptions in game traffic were not anticipated by authorities because of the wide publicity that the accident had received.
堪萨斯城消防营长迈克尔·霍普金斯表示，有些牛在被捕获前已经走了数英里。“这是一起相当严重的事故，”霍普金斯说。
Some of the cattle had walked several miles before they were captured, said Kansas City Fire Battalion Chief Michael Hopkins. “It was a pretty nasty accident,” Hopkins said.
事故发生后，城市当局立即启动无人机追踪牛只，随后一家与货运公司合作的私营公司派出骑马工作人员参与牛只围捕，他说。“更困难的是处理那些未能幸存的动物，”他补充道。
Immediately after the accident, city authorities launched drones to track the cattle before a private company working together with the trucking company arrived with workers on horseback to round up the cattle, he said. “More difficult has been getting the animals who did not survive,” he added.
