Driving too fast..40 mph is plenty with cattle onboard..
Probably going to be slaughtered ready for your Sunday dinner .
Rosanna Brook probably going to the mart to be sold.
This really highlights how crucial proper safety measures are when transporting livestock,especially on busy routes like Pont Abraham Roundabout. Glad it was reported—hoping the animals and driver are okay.
