The shoulder was soft and the tractor trailer began to slide down the  embankment. He was unable to correct the tractor trailer and it tipped over onto its side.   Nine of the 38 Holsteins in the trailer died from injuries in the crash.  Several area dairy farm workers aided in the rescue and recovery.
