MARTINEZ - A runaway bull on a Northern California highway caused a six-car pileup crash.

KPIX-TV reports (http://cbsloc.al/2ous1AB) that several cars were badly damaged when they hit the bull Monday night on Highway 4, in unincorporated Contra Costa County. The bull was killed in the crash, it's unclear if any humans were injured.

Local rancher Nick Compaglia says it could be the recent weather that let the bull out. He says erosion underneath a fence could have allowed the bull to escape.
