There was a delay in traffic on the Chisolm Trail Tollway in Fort Worth on Tuesday night. After an accident involving a truck hauling animals from a petting zoo, the mammals ended up trotting along the highway.

A couple named Heath Welch and Elizabeth Smith happened to be driving along the same route when they noticed a camel wandering around the road. There were also cows and a "donkey in the fast lane" according to Smith.

Authorities were able to round up the livestock. Unfortunately, two of the animals didn't make it. The rest were returned to their owner. Welch had a funny line about the incident, "Rumor has it none of the animals paid their toll, so they're all in the pen right now,"
