Watson told News 4 WOAI, “We believe the gate of the cattle trailer came open, and the cow, for lack of a better phrase spilled out onto the Interstate. It was pretty chaotic for a while.”
Several cars hit some of the cows. One cow died. DPS troopers called for backup.
That’s when one officer was nearly run down by a speeding truck, carrying two illegal immigrants inside.
Seguin Police were out looking for those illegal immigrants. They parked their cars in the hot grass, burning two of them including that brand new 2006 Crown Victoria. Watson said, “Well, all of a sudden, another officer who’d arrived on the scene, alerted the sergeant that there was a fire.”
Everything inside was destroyed, including tens of thousands of dollars worth of equipment designed for the patrol cars.
For what it’s worth, my dad lived in Seguin for a while as a child and several ancestors helped settle the area. I would not be too terribly surprised if some of the participants involved in this romp were relatives, albeit (hopefully) distant.
