No further information is available, though folks will likely assume this all is open-and-shut. It’s not like you can put an animal in jail for failure to yield. However, authorities weren’t specific about the type of animal involved here. If this was just some wild animal, then this likely was an unavoidable accident. But if it was livestock, like a cow or a horse, it would be important to find out where the animal came from and if a property owner’s negligence allowed the animal to wander out onto the road. There could still be more to this story.
