A runaway cow was spotted wandering on the Chuxiong-Dali Expressway holding up traffic in southwestern China.

The CCTV video, filmed in Chuxiong city in Yunnan province at around 2 pm on August 25, shows the cow trotting along the highway as cars attempt to pass it.

A police car can be seen following the cow and attempting to encourage it to leave the road.

Finally, police and construction workers used a rope to catch the cow, took it down the highway and found its owner.

8月25号下午2点半，楚大高速楚雄段交通有点拥堵，这次不是车祸，而是一头黄牛散步散到了高速公路上。这牛的气派可不小，身后尾随的都是车队。
楚大高速上来了头黄牛，吓得车辆都不敢正常行驶。从监控看，黄牛时而悠闲漫步于车流中，时而停下牛蹄左右张望，似乎也在疑惑自己身处何处。遇到有车辆猛按喇叭时，黄牛便惊慌失措的跑起来。
交警介绍，这头误闯高速的黄牛虽然无辜，但给正值暑期交通高峰的高速路带来了混乱。不一会，黄牛身后就形成了小范围拥堵。警车尾随黄牛一段后，鸣笛将它逼至路边，再与施工车辆前后夹击控制黄牛，待牛平静后，民警与施工人员用绳子套住牛角。下午3点半，黄牛被顺利牵离高速公路，找到了主人。
