A cow broke loose from its field and ran onto a busy M55 yesterday (Thursday, August 10).
One family filmed the incident after the cow trotted in front of their car between Preston and Kirkham at around 2.30pm.
Lancashire Police were forced to close the eastbound carriageway between junctions 4 and 3 while the cow was rescued from the motorway.
