Some Madison County cows had quite a shock Monday when a big rig came barreling into their pasture.
It happened around 2:30 p.m. on OSR between Normangee and I-45.
Madison County Sheriff's Deputies said the truck driver told them a car in front of him slowed down.
The truck ran off the road, over a ditch, through a fence and into the pasture. In the process, the truck's fuel line broke, and emptied diesel into the field.
No one was hurt in the accident.

Hey 4 wheeler. What do you know about trucks. Less than 1 truck in 20 has more than 13 gears. 2 or 3 miles to get to speed is grossly exaggerated. regarding passing, about 1 in 3 cars that pass on rural roads stop to turn in less than 2 miles. Give us a break.

Well 4 wheeler, I know it takes along time for a truck to get up to speed, but they have alot of wieght behind them to get to speed. Thats why they have so many gears, they need all the power they can get. We don't like it takes so long, but there is nothing we can do about it. So you are just going to have to deal with it because it's not going to change anytime soon.

My problem has always been that the 18 wheelers take 2 or 3 miles to go trough all the 16 forward gears and get up to cruising speed, and it's so tough to get around them to pass. And it's compounded by the fact that once I DO get around them and set my cruise control at 70, about 1 in 3 then picks a cruising speed of 80 (instead of the posted 60) and comes running up my rear bumper about 5 miles further down the road...until the next town with a stoplight, of course.
