I at least had the radical part correct. Still don't see how causing the truck which may or may not have had any cattle in it to wreck would have protected the cows. When the truck wrecked if any cows were in it, they would have been injured or killed along with the driver. Mission accomplished and failed at the same time.
When I was in Kuwait one of my Indian workers asked me "Sir, do you speak Hindi?" I told him no. So, he handed me an empty 1-gallon paint can with 7 stones in it. He said when someone asks you something in Hindi just shake the can to rattle the stones The sound will be in fluent Hindi. We had a good laugh. He had been an Aerospace engineer prior to coming to Kuwait to work for me as a machinist, and almost as sharp in math as mklotz

The idea is to stop the truck not wreck it.
