Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A truck carrying around 400 sheep overturned on a highway overpass in southern Australia yesterday, causing the animals to rain on to the freeway below.
Police say the sheep fell on to the Princess Highway outside Melbourne after the truck crashed and flipped on its side.
Several cars on the Princess Highway were damaged by the sheep and several people were injured. Paramedic Allan Eade says there were "a large number" of dead and injured sheep.
Driver Robert Leardi says he was lucky he was not seriously hurt when the falling livestock damaged his car. He says he was driving when "all of a sudden these sheep are falling down from the top of an overpass".
