(KYMA, KECY/CNN) - Nearly 50 cows died after a cattle truck lost control and rolled over on an exit on i-44 in Oklahoma city Sunday.

There were more than a hundred cows in the trailer.

It had two levels and the upper level was cleared out first.

Fire crews had to cut the top of the trailer off to get the first cows out.

But with the truck on its side, they couldn't get the cows out of the bottom level--

So they called in for help to lift it.

An exit ramp on i-44 was closed for hours as they got the cattle out and then cleared the cattle hauler out of the road.

47 out of the 104 cows in the truck died.
