Six Escaped Steers Cause Traffic Chaos on Texas Highway

The incident, caused by a faulty trailer latch, resulted in road closures, property damage, and a citation for the driver.

Six steers escaped from a trailer on Interstate 45 in Harris County, Texas, after a latch on the trailer door came undone.
The animals caused significant traffic disruptions, with multiple lanes closed as authorities worked to contain them.
One steer was struck by a vehicle, leading to the vehicle overturning, though no human injuries were reported.
All escaped steers were secured by 4:30 p.m. local time, thanks to the efforts of the Harris County Sheriff's Office Livestock Unit and Precinct 4 deputies.
The driver of the trailer was cited for an 'unsecure load,' and an investigation into the latch failure is ongoing.
