Two cows have been killed in a crash with a lorry on a main road in Cumbria.
Emergency services were called to the A6 at Plumpton, near Penrith, shortly before 21:00 BST on Friday. The accident involved three animals and two of them died at the scene. The lorry driver was unhurt. The road was blocked while the animals were removed. Cumbria Police said they were investigating how the animals got on to the road.

If you are a cow yes, maybe a lower centre of gravity? deer and elk seem to take out drivers no problem as they tend to pitch through the windscreen when struck.
I believe Volvo's actually have an Elk / Reindeer test that swings the equivalent weight at the windscreen to see if they can withstand such a suicide attack
PS, good point about flying though windscreens, a kangaroo achieved a similar feat a couple of years ago.
Thanks ill go and pick up the carrion. Have been living on biscuits for the past 5 days.
Yep, they took on just a little too much with a lorry but the idea of tag team sounds promising.
