BRISBANE, Australia, Feb. 1 (UPI) -- Seventeen kangaroos were found dead beside an Australian road, and police are seeking a driver they believe deliberately ran them down.
The carcasses of 16 kangaroos, and one which survived but was later euthanized, were discovered Monday morning on a 330-foot stretch of a road in Wacol, near the city of Brisbane. The animals feed by the roadside in the evening, and locals avoid them, but tire tracks on the road indicated a driver intentionally swerved to strike them.
