Police officers with the Oklahoma City Police Department are wondering how a cow managed to escape from a trailer on Interstate 40 on Tuesday morning May 13 before sunrise which caused traffic jams. The Oklahoma City Police answered the emergency call from the drivers to find a way to get the cow away from being injured by a motorist when several police officers managed to capture the cow and take her back to the trailer of her owner safely. No driver or the cow were injured in the traffic jam before the start of the business day. Link is upi.com/6331747148486 via @upi

Cows seem to be so dumb. They just won't follow direction. They can be very frustrating.

You are right since my relatives who live in the countryside of Panama have cows on their property that they raise.

It’s not the first time that’s happened. With a cow or a horse, really. Drivers need to be more careful when they transport animals.

The poor cow was probably scared with all the commotion going on around him or her.

I'm glad they were able to capture the cow. It probably wasn't easy on the Interstate.
