Dhenkanal: At least five cows were killed after a container truck carrying them overturned at Dhanianali under Nihalprasad police limits in Dhenkanal district today.

The mishap took place in the morning hours when the truck was en-route to Dhenkanal carrying an unspecified number of cattle under inhumane conditions. It is being suspected that the driver of the truck lost control over the wheels causing it to skid off the road and turn turtle.

While, both the driver and helper managed to escape from the vehicle following the accident, they went absconding soon after.

Police reached the spot and started investigation into the incident after seizing the mangled vehicle and sending the injured cows for treatment to a nearby veterinary centre.
