Authorities in Vermont say a New Hampshire truck driver hauling milk struck and killed a cow over the weekend, reports the AP. Vermont State Police say 67-year-old James Aldrich, a driver for Mountain Milk, wasn't injured when he hit the animal on state Route 5 shortly before 5am Sunday. His 2015 Volvo truck, however, suffered front-end damage, notes MassLive. Police say the cow had wandered onto the road near the Four Corner Farms. (Read more Vermont stories.)
