The driver was identified as 25-year-old Michael Alayan Forero. Police believe that he did not see the cow in the road because he was approaching a small hill, and the cow was just beyond the crest of the hill. The cow was struck head-on and both are believed to have died instantly, police said.
No further information has been released.
