This was not something that any driver expected to be slowing down on the motorway for
Driving on the motorway can, at times, be hazardous. It is especially tricky in the rain, but one thing that you probably do not count on having to break for is a swan trying to cross the road.
And this is exactly what happened to drivers on the M62 near Wakefield on Friday, December 23, as a swan dared to take a stroll into oncoming traffic. The adventurous - or just plain lost - swan was captured on video waddling along the left lane of the carriageway. The unfazed animal was walking along quite contentedly, as cars behind slowed to a crawl so as not to hit the unexpected traveller. And this unusual avian diversion led to cars in other lanes to slow down dramatically, too, with many hazards flashing to warn oncoming motorists of the feathered obstacle.One motorist, who filmed the swan on his phone, captioned the video: "Just a normal day on the M62.
The unfazed animal caused brief traffic delays to some of the thousands of people travelling today ahead of the Christmas period. Here is hoping that he or she got back to their family in time for Christmas, too.
