Police in Ohio reported capturing a cow that attempted to escape after a cattle truck overturned on a highway ramp.

The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office said that deputies and officers from the Columbus Police Department responded when the semi toppled on the ramp from eastbound Interstate 70 to northbound Interstate 270 in Columbus at about 8:15 p.m. Tuesday.

COWBOY UP. A trailer hauling cattle crashed on 70 at 270 Tuesday evening and one cow saw his chance to make a run for it. Great job to deputies and @ColumbusPolice for lassoing the escapee and keeping him off the highway before the animal caused a serious injury crash. pic.twitter.com/VDDw2RcMLq
