Skoje, Macedonia - A speeding driver has killed almost an entire flock of sheep, fatally injuring at least 30 as they crossed a highway in eastern Macedonia.

Shepherd Dejanco Mihajlovski said blood was spattered across the highway after the driver ran through the sheep at 100km/h.

Police said the driver - a 53-year-old identified only as B.G. - was not hurt but his car was destroyed.

Police said 30 sheep were killed. But Mihajlovski told Channel 5 TV that 37 of his animals died.

Police said they were investigating, and B.G. could be charged for speeding in an area where the limit is 50km/h.
