Video: Hundreds of sheep 'rain' down on motorway after truck accident in Australia The livestock truck was on a motorway slip road travelling to the town of Geelong on Thursday night when the accident happened, police said. Hundreds of sheep then fell on the Princes Highway below, hitting two vehicles and blocking the road for several hours. With scores of sheep killed or seriously injured the accident scene was one of bloody carnage as other dazed and injured animals wandered through the wreckage. However, incredibly no people were injured in the incident. "First of all we looked up and we could see the truck flip on its side and the next minute we were underneath and well yeah it rained sheep," said a passenger of one car caught up in the unusual accident. With no other vehicle said to be involved in the initial truck crash, investigators were trying to establish what happened as emergency crews attempted to right the lorry whilst minimising the risk to surviving sheep still trapped inside it. Police said the sheep carcasses would be cleared up by council workers later on Friday morning.
