Cow falls off cliff, lands on pair's minivan

MANSON, Wash. - Charles and Linda Everson were driving back to their hotel when their minivan was struck by a falling object — a 600-pound cow.

The Eversons were unhurt but the cow, which had fallen off a cliff, had to be euthanized.

The year-old cow fell about 200 feet from the cliff and landed on the hood of the couple's minivan, causing extensive damage.

A Chelan County fire chief, Arnold Baker, said the couple missed being killed by a matter of inches in the accident Sunday on a highway near Manson.

The cow had been grazing in a field where a large amount of mushrooms had been growing and apparently believed it could jump over the moon.

A neighbors dog was seen laughing and there is still no sign of the dish and spoon.
