BEAUMONT, Calif.—It was one of the more unusual calls the California Highway Patrol has received: Someone reported seeing a cow trying to climb out of a small car parked alongside an interstate.
Officers responding Saturday along a mountain pass in Southern California’s Riverside County discovered a calf trying to escape from a Honda Civic’s open trunk.
Another calf was crammed into the floor of the backseat. Both calves’ hooves were tied.
