Herd of cattle cause two-hour tailback on M1 after wandering along carriageway

A herd of cows unleashed chaos on the M1 yesterday after they decided to go for a stroll on the busy carriageway.

The five adventurous cattle ended up causing two-hour tailbacks after they joined the motorway between between Sheffield and Rotherham between junctions 34 and 35.

South Yorkshire Police and traffic officers raced to the scene shortly after the cows were first spotted at around 6:30am, and quickly enforced speed and lane closures to keep the animals safe.
