“A Las Vegas woman has sued Cliven Bundy after she crashed into one of his cows on Interstate 15.
Danielle Beck was riding in a car that collided with the animal April 14, two days after federal authorities backed down from an armed confrontation with the scofflaw rancher and his supporters in a dispute over unpaid grazing fees, reported the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
The cow was killed, and the 40-year-old Beck suffered broken bones and other injuries when her boyrfiend crashed into the livestock and drove over an embankment about 10 miles from Bundy’s ranch in Bunkerville.”

@psilva – So if I am driving down the road and run you over, whoever manages that road would be responsible and I would not be?
Do users pay for Interstate 15. usage? if so who manages Interstate 15 should be responsible for the users security.
The Interstate isn’t responsible for keeping the animals of farmers off of the road. They’re supposed to have properly maintained fencing for that. I’m sure this will be settled in court. There’s not much you can do when an animal that is likely tagged as your wanders out of a field that’s (hopefully) yours onto a highway and gets struck by a car.
