ARCADE, N.Y. (WIVB) - Police arrested a Wyoming County man for DWI after he struck and killed a cow that was in the roadway.

Troopers say on July 7th, a minivan driven by 63-year-old Norman Kleever of Chaffee hit a cow on Rt. 39 in the Town of Arcade, killing the animal. The cow had apparently got loose from a pasture. Police arrived as the farmer and owner of the animal removed it from the roadway. Kleever was uninjured.
