Oblivious bovine is reduced to roadkill

Why did the cow cross the road? Certainly not to be hit by a speeding motorbike, which was unfortunately the case in Oddar Meanchey province on Sunday.

A cow was sauntering across the road when a speeding motorbike violently crashed into it, killing the bovine on the spot.

The reckless rider sustained injuries and was sent to the hospital, while his motorbike was seized by police for legal action.
