Saturday, June 14, Maine State Police responded to a report of a trailer carrying goats that had become detached from its towing vehicle on the Turnpike northbound near mile marker 52 in Falmouth.
The trailer came to rest in the median. As a result of the incident, 15 goats escaped and began to disrupt traffic on both the northbound and southbound lanes.
Troopers quickly responded and coordinated efforts to corral the goats. The investigation determined that the driver, operating a 2013 Toyota pickup truck towing a farm trailer, experienced a disconnection between the vehicle and trailer, leading to the incident.
There were no significant injuries to the driver or the goats.
