A gruesome sight greeted drivers passing under a highway crossing in Melbourne, Australia, on late Thursday, after a truck carrying approximately 400 sheep overturned tossing the animals below.

According to local media reports, at least three cars on the Princes Highway inbound lanes were damaged severely when the sheep fell on the road, while one vehicle rolled over four times.

Amazingly, no human was seriously hurt, but unfortunately, most of the sheep had to be put down.

A video report from Ten News follows below, but be warned, some may find the images disturbing.
