Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA brief three hour period of dense fog occurred across portions of Mitchell, Floyd and Chickasaw counties during the morning of March 4th. The fog brought visibilities down to near zero from around 5:30 a.m. until approximately 8:00 a.m., before improving. At 7:15 a.m., two semi-trucks collided at the intersection of county road T38 and Highway 18 between Floyd and Rudd (Floyd county). One of the semi-trucks was carrying 76 head of cattle. Twenty-five of the 76 calves were killed in the accident or were put down at the scene, while the rest were taken to a rendering facility to be put down. One of the semi-truck drivers was treated and released for injuries (indirect). Approximately 400 gallons of fuel were spilled on the ground, and the highway was closed for 4 hours as a result of the accident. The total damage of the accident was estimated at $350,000, with $55,000 of that value being from the loss of the cattle.
