(AP) — The Dodge City Community College football team was involved in a bus accident that left several cattle dead.

The accident occurred in western Kansas after the school bus, transporting some members of the college football team, ran into a herd of cattle that was blocking the road.

David Wetmore, spokesman for Dodge City Community College, said there was no way for the bus to avoid the cattle. Nine cattle were killed. The passengers of the bus were not injured. Wetmore says the bus driver kept the bus under control during the accident

The football team was returning on Sunday from a game against Butler Community College in El Dorado.
