I saw that on the news this morning. It's kind of gruesome seeing all that dead livestock all over the road, then again you can't really call it livestock can you if they dead. Those two females that had sheep land on their car would have had the fright of their lives.

doubt it as sheep always follow where the other sheep are going so its a given some sheep may have committed suicide with out know it.

I went past this around Midnight, and some of the sheep were still alive, even tho the sheep had fallen all that way. The sheep at the bottom were all in the medium strip dead and alive.

It is bad seeing it first hand. Seen lots of dead sheep.

Seems like bad events happening around that area latley. Last week Friday night, in Werribee (around 10 minutes away. Prob same coppers attended) A train hit a car and a passenger was killed.

^no 400 odd sheep make no difference to price (these sheep were already heading to slaughter from what i could gather talking to some other stockies), all sheep were put down after the incident.

all in all the bloke driving was lucky it didnt go over the edge, and lucky no one was seriously injured.
