BC Livestock crews and volunteers were able to rescue more than 70 calves in the moments following a cattle truck crash near Prince George.
RCMP were originally called out to the scene of the incident on Highway 16, near East Bay Road at around 2:00 in the afternoon on Friday.
A cattle liner had been transporting 130 recently-sold calves out of Vanderhoof, when the driver lost control, causing the truck to slide off the road and into the ditch.
As a result, more than 30 calves were killed, while many more were left scattered along the highway, though the driver suffered only minor injuries.
Local ranchers and volunteers were able to rescue 71 calves in the immediate aftermath, and dozens of others over the weekend, with search efforts continuing into today.
