I had posted this in the off topic board last week.

A semitruck slammed into a herd of elk on Interstate 70 early this morning, triggering a car rollover and shutting eastbound lanes near Evergreen.
Sixteen elk were killed in the grisly accident that jackknifed the smashed big rig near Beaver Brook Drive.
Highway workers and fire crews used snowplows and water-and-sand trucks to clear the carnage and clean the roadway.
"I saw on-scene picture and it looked like a massacre ... very nasty, nasty scene," a listener posted on ScanAmerica.us, a Web site for people who monitor police and fire radio traffic.
No humans were injured.
It was pretty gross," said Evergreen fire Dispatch Supervisor Christy McCormick.
"They said that semi really took the brunt of the impact. It pretty much caved in the semi, because of the impact of that large of a herd," she said. "There was carnage all along the side of the truck."
