Lamb on the lam for hours after crash that killed 74 sheep to be adopted

A lamb that was on the lam for hours after a tractor-trailer crash in Nevada killed 74 other sheep has been caught and will be adopted by a foster family. "We call her Dodger because of the traffic she survived on the highway," said Ann Inabnitt, Boulder City Animal Control supervisor. It shut down traffic on part of the highway near Boulder City. The female lamb nicknamed Dodger wandered off from the crash site and was missing in the desert overnight before being captured Tuesday, officials said. Dodger and five other sheep ran loose Monday after a big rig overturned and sent its animal cargo onto U.S. 95.
