A HERD of cows stopped traffic on the M62 near Bradford as police and highways officers moved them to a safe location.

The cows were spotted in the westbound lane on the motorway between Junction 25 (Brighouse) and Junction 24 (Huddersfield) this morning being moved to a safe field nearby.

Highways officers could not help but use a few puns in their tweet to describe the incident.

National Highways: Yorkshire tweeted: "We've currently got the traffic stopped whilst we work with the West Yorkshire Police's Road Policing Unit to mooooove some loose cows from the road. No, we don't have any udder puns and we won't try milking it with the ones we can think of. Thanks for your patience."

They later tweeted: "The cows have been successfully corralled back into the field where they can admire the traffic flowing freely again from a safe location."
