Ontario Provincial Police said the 25-year-old was behind the wheel of a small crossover-type vehicle, towing eight dairy calves when the homemade trailer failed around 7 a.m. near Joyceville Road. The calves spilled onto the roadway and incurred injuries requiring veterinary attention, OPP said. Police told CBC the animals suffered minor injuries and are expected to make a full recovery.
