At around 1:39 a.m., Sherman local troopers responded to State Highway 15 around nine miles east of Stratford in reference to a report of an auto collision. Police said that an undescribed vehicle was seen traveling along the highway when it collided with a black bull that was standing in the roadway.

The Texas Highway Patrol is investigating the collision.
According to the National Highway Traffic Administration (NHTSA), car accidents happen almost every minute of every day, and for every 16 minutes, a car accident occurs that results in death. That is roughly about 6 million car accidents every year and 90 people dying in car accidents every day in the U.S. alone. Driving while distracted, under the influence of alcohol, and at an unsafe speed are three most common causes of car accidents.
