Seventeen cows are dead after a semi truck carrying cattle crashed on the highway ramp from eastbound Stoney Trail to southbound Macleod Trail in Calgary late Tuesday.

A dashcam video posted to Reddit shows the truck travelling between 115 and 120 kilometres per hour before it tips over while trying to navigate a curve in the road.
