One person was injured and one dead early Tuesday morning after a tractor trailer carrying cattle overturned, killing its driver.

Lloyd Weber, the driver, lost control of the truck, ran off the road to the right and overturned, highway patrol officials said.

He died at the scene. His passenger, Joshua Steadman, was injured and taken to an area hospital.

The tractor trailer was carrying 30-40 cows. Officials had to round up the cows at the scene. Some of the cows had to be euthanized. The search continues for more cows.
