In an interview with the South Bend Tribune. the off duty officer, Capt. Derek Allen said, “It’s really important to note, these cows weren’t just walking, they were at a full gallop, if you will,”
Allen then said he quickly got in front of the herd and drove ahead with his police lights flashing in order to warn oncoming traffic.
