It's unlikely there was much the truck driver could do. My brother in law owns a sheep farm and does cart his sheep around. Had it been his truck, I doubt he would have cared much. It's a tough life out there. One bellowing sheep with a half severed leg wouldn't even get him to raise an eyebrow let alone take any action.
He had one of his favorite cattle dogs he uses to muster his sheep in the back of his ute when, for whatever reason, it jumped out the back when he was doing a decent clip and broke its leg. He climed out of the car, grabbed a screwdriver and (I'm sure you can fill in the blank)
I'd imagine it would be distressing to see and I know I wouldn't particularly care much to see it, but it wouldn't be the worst thing I'd seen happening to a sheep after staying on their farm for a few weeks.
