Creatures in Nature - "Severe Traffic Disruption": Police arrest group of cows
About three kilometers ago, the cows had made their way back to the main road connecting Hiltpoltstein and Graefenberg during the night on Saturday. A driver noticed them around 1am and alerted the police. The police then deployed two patrol cars to contain the cows on side roads and create a makeshift barrier.
The police later announced on platform X that there was a significant traffic congestion due to the cow blockade. However, no accidents were reported, according to the spokesperson. "There was no other traffic on the road at that time," he added.
