13 bison dead after semi-truck crashes into the animals outside of Yellowstone National Park


Thirteen bison were killed after a semi-truck struck the animals outside of Yellowstone National Park Wednesday, authorities said.

The accident occurred on Highway 191 near mile marker 4 in southern Montana, the West Yellowstone Police Department said in a statement Friday. The area is near the western entrance of the national park. Authorities said the semi-truck hit all of the bison, and some were later euthanized "due to severe injuries."

Officials said bison can be frequently seen near roadways and trails in the winter months because it's easier for them to travel on, putting them in the possible path of vehicles.

"We deal with wildlife being struck and killed on the roadways in our area on a regular basis due to the abundance of wildlife in our area and our close proximity to Yellowstone National Park," the department said. "We are always saddened by any of these incidents, particularly when so many animals are lost."

Crash that killed 13 Yellowstone bison renews push for wildlife crossings on Highway 191

Two weeks after a semitruck struck and killed 13 bison on U.S. Highway 191 north of West Yellowstone, wildlife advocates are calling on officials to seek out transportation funding for wildlife crossings along the route.

Buffalo Field Campaign, an organization that advocates for wild, free-roaming bison, launched a petition to support the construction of a “Buffalo Wildlife Bridge” at the Madison River crossing along Highway 191.

According to the group’s spokesperson Tom Woodbury, members would like to see a wildlife-friendly bridge built over Highway 191 where it crosses the Madison River, between mile markers 2 and 4. As of Tuesday afternoon, over 2,200 people had signed the petition.

Truckers are just heartless. Same thing happened when truckers pretend not to notice they hit the car.
