It forced the motorway’s closure in both directions in the area, leading to some amusing footage and comments from stranded motorists.

One Twitter user posted a video of police trying – and failing – to get hold of the bull.

Another suggested riding it to escape the chaos, saying:

Tempted to jump on the bulls [sic] back to get into town. A lot quicker than a car on current form.

Another frustrated motorist caught in the jam tweeted:

Can’t they get the traffic MOOving along already?
