No, this wasn’t a one-in-a-billion car crash where four llamas happened to each be driving separate cars or something.
Near Punta Gorda, Florida, a pickup truck was carrying a trailer with four llamas in it.
The truck crashed into a bridge and the trailer tipped over with the poor llamas inside!
Luckily, only one of the llamas was hurt in the crash, the other three seemed uninjured.
All four were taken to a veterinary hospital for a checkup anyway.
A Fire-Rescue spokesperson said:
“The animals were very easy to deal with, they were startled and had been tossed around in that trailer. I’ve been with the department for 24 years and this is the first time I’ve ever dealt with llamas.”
Well we’re glad they’re okay now and under veterinary care.
The driver of the truck, a man in his 20s, suffered only minor injuries and is recovering in a hospital. He’s in stable condition.
Thank goodness no one was seriously injured!
