All Three Cows Secured After Escape Onto I-90 Near Blasdell as Delays Linger

State police attribute the escape to a trailer mechanical failure.

Overview

  • Three cows got loose after a livestock trailer stopped on the I-90 shoulder near Exit 56 in Blasdell due to a mechanical issue.
  • Authorities and the animals’ owners quickly corralled two cows, and the third was captured later after evading responders.
  • The animals moved between the roadway and the median, slowing traffic in both directions during the roundup.
  • The New York State Thruway Authority removed an earlier live camera feed of the scene and urged drivers to expect delays and consider alternate routes.
