Livestock killed in lorry crash
Five cows and 150 sheep were killed when an agricultural lorry overturned near Temple.
The 44-tonne articulated lorry was transporting 330 sheep and five cows when it flipped onto its side shortly after 3pm on Tuesday August 24.
Emergency services arrived to find a scene of devastation near the entrance to the Arniston Estate on the B6372.
More than 400 litres of diesel spilled from the lorry after the crash and threatened to enter a nearby stream.
Some of the animals died instantly and an emergency vet was requested by the attending services to put many more of the seriously injured animals down.
