Escaped Bull Causes Chaos on Massachusetts Highway

The 1,300-pound animal broke through fences, caused a multi-vehicle crash, and was ultimately shot by police.

  • The bull escaped from Mathieu Farms while being loaded onto a slaughterhouse truck.
  • It broke through electrified fences and leapt over a 6-foot berm before reaching Interstate 495.
  • The animal caused a three-vehicle crash on the highway, injuring one driver.
  • Police and farm staff tracked the bull to Lake Nippenicket, where it charged at them.
  • Officers shot the bull after it aggressively swam toward them; it was later euthanized by the farm owner.
