Killing a cow on the road is a traffic accident. According to Article 119 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China: 1. "Road" refers to roads, urban roads and places under the jurisdiction of units that allow social motor vehicles to pass, including squares, public parking lots and other places for public access. 2. "Vehicles" refer to motor vehicles and non motor vehicles. 3. The term "motor vehicle" refers to a wheeled vehicle driven or towed by a power unit and running on roads for people or for transporting goods and carrying out special engineering operations. 4. "Non motor vehicles" refer to vehicles driven by human or animal power and running on roads, as well as motorized wheelchairs for the disabled, electric bicycles and other vehicles driven by power devices but with the highest design speed, empty vehicle mass and overall dimensions in line with relevant national standards. 5. "Traffic accident" refers to the event of personal injury or property loss caused by a vehicle's fault or accident on the road. The following elements should be included in the extended data to constitute a traffic accident: 1. It must be caused by vehicles. Vehicles include motor vehicles and non motor vehicles. Without vehicles, it cannot constitute a traffic accident. For example, a collision between pedestrians in the process of moving does not constitute a traffic accident; 2. It happened on the road. Roads refer to roads, urban roads and places that are under the jurisdiction of units but allow social motor vehicles to pass, including squares, public parking lots and other places used for public passage; 3.
