The vehicle the herdmens were traveling with allegedly suffered a sudden tyre burst and as a result the driver lost control of the steering wheel causing the vehicle to somersault before crashing at the roadside.
About 29 of the herdsmen had severe to critical injuries and most of the cattle died and others injured.
The driver and two others however escaped unhurt. They were rescued and taken to the St Martins Deporres Hospital at Agormanya.
