Couple’s journey delayed as cows bring A1 diverted traffic to a standstill at Caunton near Newark
It was udder chaos when a couple’s journey home took an unexpected turn – straight into a herd of wandering cows.
However, despite it being just past midnight, they were soon stopped as they came across the herd wandering the roads.
“First, we saw just a few cows in front of a car ahead of us, but it got by.
“The next minute, loads of cows suddenly piled in front of us.
“It was a bit randomly mental, as we didn’t expect what seemed like over 100 cows escaping.
“We were worried about hitting them or them crashing into our car.”
As time went on, the line of cars behind the pair grew, as did the “tons of cows” around the vehicle.
Sherree called the police, who quickly arrived at the scene and shut the road, though not before the couple navigated their way through.
“We were lucky we weren’t stuck for hours, as the cows were spread out over a mile,” said Sherree.
The couple filmed their experience and in the videos, they can be heard expressing their shock, as well as joking about getting the cows “moooving” on.
Nottinghamshire Police have been asked for details about the incident but had not responded at the time of publication.
