Per AP:

A runaway kangaroo named Sheila shut down a stretch of interstate in Alabama on Tuesday before state troopers and the animal’s owner wrangled the wayward marsupial.

The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency said the kangaroo was spotted Tuesday hopping along the side of Interstate 85 in Macon County, which is between Montgomery and Auburn.

The sight snarled traffic, and state troopers shut down both sides of the interstate for the safety of motorists. The animal’s owner and troopers were able to capture it, Capt. Jeremy J. Burkett of the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency said.

“When somebody said there was a kangaroo of course I didn’t believe it, and nobody believed it. But I’m looking at him,” Macon County Sheriff Andre Brunson said in a Facebook live video as the animal was captured.

A runaway kangaroo forced the closure of an Alabama interstate highway in a bizarre incident captured on video.

Footage showed the animal hopping along Interstate 85 in Macon County on Tuesday, between Montgomery and Auburn, before it was captured by state troopers and its owner.

The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency said the marsupial had been involved in a two-vehicle crash.

“Eventually both the southbound and northbound lanes of Interstate 85 near the 46-mile marker were closed while Troopers with the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency’s Highway Patrol Division along with the animal’s owner conducted a recovery of the kangaroo,” it said in a statement. “The animal has now been recovered, and the roadway is back open. The kangaroo was not injured in the crash.”
