Motorcycle Collides with Cow Near Everett

A motorcycle collided with a cow on Highway Two near Everett.

State Patrol Trooper Kirk Rudeen says it happened in the dark at 4:30 this morning in the westbound lanes of the Highway Two trestle.

The car had apparently wandered onto the highway from a nearby farm. It was struck by two cars before it was hit by the motorcycle. The rider was taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injures. The two car drivers were not injured.

Rudeen says the cow was put down by at the scene by a deputy or animal control officer.
