Bank holiday traffic came to a standstill when both sides of the M5 were closed today - due to a goat running down the motorway.
Motorists were left stunned this morning (May 4, 2025) when a brown goat was seen darting across the lanes of the M5 - between Taunton and Weston-super-Mare in Somerset.
Several onlookers got out of their cars and attempted to shepherd the animal off the motorway to safety.
Derya Kirdag, 30, was driving to a campsite near Alton Towers with her partner, Bradley Biden, 28, who works in finance, when she saw a sign telling traffic to slow to 40mph due to an animal in the road.
When the traffic reached a standstill, Derya got out of her car and saw the commotion caused by the goat.
She was able to capture the incident on her phone, before being told to return to her car by police.
