The Easiest Story Of The Year
Drivers found themselves contending with more than holiday traffic Friday when a chicken was found crossing the road. Northbound Interstate 17 remains backed up north of Loop 101 after a rooster tried to cross the freeway about 11 a.m. at Arizona 74."It's just a busy holiday - and of course the rooster," said Officer Robert Bailey, a DPS spokesman. "The rooster only compounded matters." An officer removed the uninjured bird within 40 minutes, but Bailey expects the heavy Fourth of July traffic to remain slow-and-go through late this evening. The officer gave the rooster a ride to New River in the back of a patrol car where the fowl was released. "Luckily there's a cage back there so the rooster wasn't flying in the driver's compartment," Bailey said. Posted by: Anonymoose 2009-07-04 |
