## Summary

A pregnant, four-year-old longhorn cow named Maggie escaped from a farm near Carmel, New York, and caused a traffic pile-up while running along a road in Putnam County. Police and motorists tried to guide her away from the traffic, highlighting the danger to both drivers and the animal.

Maggie had been loose for four days before she was returned to Little Cabin’s Farm, according to local news reports. Video showed her darting between stopped cars and reaching a grassy verge as vehicles travelled in the opposite lane; the article says her pregnancy may have contributed to her erratic behaviour.
