The accident happened last Wednesday at mile marker four on U.S. Highway 191, between West Yellowstone, Montana, and Highway 287. The bison were initially thought to have been hit by both the semi and two passenger vehicles, but police later said the passenger vehicles were involved in a secondary collision, the West Yellowstone Police Department said.
How terrible and sad.

Devastated animal populations and the destruction of the vital habitat and territory of the our wildlife is the respond for people’s threats like this disgraceful incident
that doesn't sound accidental
Wow
Should be protected.
Going to fast to stop 🤷🏽♀️ Just sad 😞
I am sorry for the park I’m sorry for the driver I am sorry for all concerned. I hope the park finds a way to make the best of a bad situation.
It's a tough world out there. Did anyone eat them?
Donate the beef to food banks in the area tgan discard good meat.
😒
Is the driver OK? I sure hope so.
The railroad justified killing millions of Buffalo by saying they needed to end costly issues like this on the tracks.
Bullshit! That was no accident
prosecute him
Was the driver cited? That’s an extraordinary crash and it would be difficult to miss an entire herd of Buffalo on the road if you were looking at the road and traveling at a reasonable speed.
Semi drivers are more dangerous than ever. The industry is so hard up for drivers they are hiring literally anyone with a pulse. Pull into a truck stop some time and just take a look at them. I wouldn’t trust these people to operate a lawn mower, much less 100,000 pound truck.
How do you not see 13 BISON?! It's not like they're small....
😢
I call dibs on the bison meat! Let me know when it will arrive.
Did anyone bother to ask if anyone was hurt in these collisions other than the bison?
'Accident'
In other news, restaurants near Yellowstone are offering 75% discounts on bison burgers!
How the hell? One truck? What, did he use the trailer as a battery ram? I mean one or two is tragic but accidental, but 13 feels like someone really getting into it.
Who are the lucky ones getting bison steaks and burgers out of this?
I bet npr will blame to climate change 😆😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
sorry to hear , Yellowstone, will make its self heard, again this year . rumble , rumble .
