Beep beep! 'Road Runner' spotted on A21 after farm escape
THIS is the bizarre sight that greeted drivers on a busy main road.
The emu had escaped from a nearby farm
Sean Loram, 42, couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw the giant bird sprinting alongside his car like something from a Road Runner cartoon.
The father-of-one, who works in sales at a local newspaper, slowed down when he saw other motorists switching on their hazard lights on the A21 near Robertsbridge, East Sussex.
The emu had escaped from a nearby farm.
It was at least 5ft tall. I was shocked. It’s not the sort of thing you usually see on the A21 so I took this picture
Sean said: “It was at least 5ft tall. I was shocked. It’s not the sort of thing you usually see on the A21 so I took this picture.”
A police spokesman said: “The bird had been running along the main road but did not cause any accidents.
“It was eventually found in an adjacent field and its owner came to retrieve it.”
