A semi truck hauling cattle overturns north of Emporia.

 The accident happened just before 10am yesterday morning on US-56. The big truck overturned in a ditch and a local farmer tried to help by attempting to pull the vehicle out of the ditch. However, this only made the trailer turn onto its side. The truck was hauling 123 head of cattle at the time of the accident. As a result, 19 of the cows had to be euthanized.
