GALT, Calif. (CBS13) — Interstate 5 was shut down Saturday evening after multiple vehicles wrecked while trying to avoid a herd of animals that ran onto the freeway.

At least 100 goats ran onto the interstate just south of Twin Cities at about 7:15 p.m., and several surprised drivers were unable to avoid them.

Authorities said at least 30 to 40 goats were killed and dozens more are still wandering on the roadway. One female driver was transported to the hospital for treatment. Her condition has not been released.

All lanes on both directions of the interstate were closed after the accidents. One of the northbound lanes has since reopened.

    I got to see this i was stuck in that traffic n i was right it was like 50 death goats !! poor goats;(

  • Marc Sac

    Jesus, you never hear these comments of people that died when pictures of them alive were shown. Their fi@!#ing goats!

  • Marc Sac

    Again their f!#$@ing goats, when a news organization shows the prom picture of a kid that was killed I never see these type of comments. But “oh no the poor goats alive” picture? I’m in Bazarro world here.

  • Marc Sac

    This is never ending with these goat people. People this is just some picture of goats that are ALIVE! Do you see dead goats scattered on the road in this picture?

  • Marc Sac

    Thats it people, tomorrow I’m going to find a resturant that serves goat and I will have goat for breakfast, lunch and dinner. You “goat picture” fanantics drove me to it.

  • ryan

    People like Marc are the reason humanity is stuck in reverse with the pedal to the metal. Nice writing skills too. What are we looking at here a 4th grade education?

  • EmLo

    Yes, you’re point? Not a PETA follower or anything but those “fi@!#ing goats” were living things too.

    Yeah? Those people were alive? So what, their fi@!#ing people!

    Someone is a little too butthurt that there are people out there who care about other living beings other than people.

  • EmLo

    Like I mentioned above.

    Someone is a little too butthurt about there being people caring about other living things than humans/people.

  • Kevin

    People showing compassion for a living animal makes you angry? You are actually displaying anger because people are showing sympathy for living creatures. Yes THEY’RE (as in they are) goats, and they have a right to live too. I don’t see goats polluting the planet, and destroying rivers and streams with their filth.

    And you should really look up the proper use of there, their, and they’re. That is so annoying.

  • Marc Sac

    You idiots don’t understand, they are bred to be killed and eaten by us. Plus the offensive picture shows goats that are alive. What do you want cbs to show a picture of, Sponge Bob Square Pants? Listen if you are Vegatarians then you might have an argument here, but if not then your hipocrats. Take the ring out of your nose and see if you would act the same way if cbs showed you a graduation picture of a kid that just died. I can’t believe I’m asking you to treat humans the same as goats!

  • Marc Sac

    Kevin is a boys name right? Damn son you need to go camping, hunting and fishing. You used compassion, sympathy, creatures, polluting and fillth in one post. Let me guess, you have some father issues? That is so annoying.

  • ryan

    Poor guy. You are in really bad shape. I’m sorry I replied to your comment. Good luck with your condition.

  • Marc Sac

    My 4th grade education made you do the “oh poor guy I feel sorry for you” bail out. Your better than that kid. None the less bye bye Ryan

  • ryan

    Your nonsensical ramblings are completely unintelligible. You need a psychiatric evaluation.

  • Teri F.

    Bad to Derrik Shore for harassing the girl who was in the accident, As he was begging for her to make a comment, when he clearly seen that she was very shaken of the trauma that she just went through.

  • ryan

    And by the way “nonetheless” is one word, not three, but you were so close.

  • Marc Sac

    Ryan stick with the topic here and don’t deflect. What picture should cbs have shown? Goats walked into the highway, cbslocal showed a picture of live goats. Websites like this show pictures of human beings while they were alive while reporting about their death. You and all your hippy friends never raise hell about this. But when it happens to goats you people go crazy? And Im nonsensical?

  • Miky Spot

    Marc leave Ryan alone, he was clearly reading plenty of books as a boy and not playing catch with his father or friends. Maybe he had a pet goat too?

  • Hereticmonk

    Lamb chops anyone?

  • Sandy

    Years ago I crashed into a small herd of goats north/west of Woodland and I was a wreck for days after. The damage to my truck was minimal but I felt sick every time I remembered it. It’s up to the herds owner to pay for damages.

  • Lisa

    The picture on CBS13 home page to get to this story is a picture of dead goats.

  • jack

    I wonder how far the goats bounced when cars going 65,70 MPH hit them? I hope this didn’t offend anyone’s delicate sensibilities.

  • Marc Sac

    Be sure to tell your therapist about it.

  • Michelle

    Actually I have commented on pics that show people hurt or killed also. I don’t think those graphic pics should be in the paper.

  • Tim

    Some prankster probably let the goats out from a nearby farm and the next thing you have is I-5 goat stew. yummm yummm

  • Emo Chackalaka

    haha….SoCal losers….go SoCal and Skin Cancer….

  • skeeter

    If you all love goats so much……I have a suggestion…..as a wise Indian man once said, go @#$% a goat! haaaaaaaa oh ryan and by the way this is a blog I’m not writing a term paper here, and I really don’t give a @#$% if you dont like all the grammer errors so haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

  • Cake

    As soon as your born you start dieing so you might as well have a good time……..sheep go to heaven, goats go to hell !!

  • Jane Stefan

    my boyfriend led the convoy of over 10 tow truck divers having to clean up this mess saw his chp buddy shoot one of the goats. A total of 51 died that he counted or was told. He was there for 4+hrs. The other member of his crew towed one of the cars that hit 10 of them he said it made him throw up how much blood and stuff was on the really messed up car.

  • Selmers

    They should have put pictures of the dead goats! That would be cool!

  • Selmers

    Would that be their ‘kids’? LOL!!!

  • ATS

    I was stuck in that mess for about 2 hours last night and I have to say that once the road opened and I saw all that carnage, it was pretty morbid. When I got home I looked online and read that there was only one person with minor injuries. It was unfortunate that all those goats were killed but at least no human lives were lost. When the highway comes to a dead stop, both directions, and you sit there for 2 hours not sure what happened; it’s a good thing to find out that only goats died, not people.

  • billie aldridge

    and what was the reason the drivers could not see the goats before hitting them -driving to fast and not watching what was going on !

  • dudley doright

    Don’t wait for the facts – just throw stuff out there with abandon.

    Look at the time it occurred, Mr Judgemental. 7:15…it’s dark then. You too, are outdriving your headlights at freeway speeds.
    I agree about inattentive drivers, in many cases.

  • Meyer C. Dhoates

    A new movie “Drivers Who Stare At Goats” starring Sarah Paaa-In and Neuter Gingrich.

  • larrybob

    it’s not dark at 715, the sun has been setting at 815!

  • larrybob

    So when is the GALT Goat BBQ?

  • larrybob

    42% were on their phone, 33% were texting, 10% were rocking out, 10% were sipping drinks or smoking, 5% reading, 5% clueless
