More than 200 sheep have been killed in a road accident after a lorry overturned.

The driver received minor injuries and didn’t require hospital treatment, but of the 440 sheep on board 220 died.

The crash happened around 10.50pm yesterday (Mon) on the A76 near to Enterkinfoot, south of Sanquhar, Dumfries and Galloway.

The driver, a 27-year-old man from Carlisle, Cumbria, received minor injuries in the collision and did not require hospital treatment.

At the time of the collision, the sheep were being transported to the Birmingham area and approximately 220 of the sheep were subsequently put down by local vets.

Due to the nature of the collision staff from Police Scotland, Scottish Environmental Protection Agency, Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, Scottish Ambulance Service and local farmers and vets were all involved in the incident.
