Traffic came to a standstill as the cows—which were being chased by a dog and some lasso-wielding cowboys on horseback—darted in and out of the parked cars. John Johnson/Twitter Incredulous drivers pulled out their phones to record the bizarre scene unfolding in the middle of the busy interstate. Meteorologist James Spann shared a video of the dog in hot pursuit of one of the escaped cows on Twitter. Others captured footage of the commute-saving cowboys racing to capture the evasive bovines. Alabama Department of Transportation ALDOT spokesman John McWilliams told AL.com that the ordeal began about 2:15 p.m. and was under control by 3 p.m. But not before the ALDOT has a little fun with the situation on Twitter.
