US 60 open after semi hauling cattle hit tree, overturns

US 60 is open again after a semi hauling cattle early Friday morning hit a tree that had fallen onto the road near Barlow. 

The crash occurred just before 4 a.m. 

There were 68 steers contained onboard the overturned truck. They had to be offloaded to get the truck righted and out of the way. 

The semi also did damage to nearby utilities, which had to be repaired.

It took nearly seven hours to clear the scene.
