BOISE, Idaho -- Idaho State Police say 16 cows were hit and killed by a semi truck and two other vehicles on Highway 93 near Hollister.

No motorists were injured in the collisions Thursday morning.

Police say Christopher Kutzler, of Glendive, Mont., was driving the semi truck and trailer that first collided with several cows.
The drivers of a Chevy Malibu and a Cadillac also struck the animals.

No citations were issued, and brand inspectors say the region is not considered open rangeland.
