This is Don the border collie. If he looks a bit sheepish, it's because he just took his owner's tractor for a spin.
Don’s owner, farmer Tom Hamilton of Kirkton Farm in south Lanarkshire, was tending to a lamb when his dog climbed into the tractor and leant on the accelerator.
Don then trundled out of the field and crashed through this fence and onto the M74, landing in the central reservation.
That led to one of weirdest traffic reports of modern times.
#M74 (N) J13-RTC due to dog taking control of tractor... nope, not joking. Farmer&police at scene,vehicle in central res. #maycausetailbacks
#M74 (N) at J13 - Route is CLEAR from earlier incident & dog is fine. Has to be the weirdest thing we have ever reported! No delays in area
But thankfully the dog was OK.
@iainpope73 As far as we know the dog is fine. Route also moving well with no delays :) Thanks Iain! Bex.
It's certainly brightened up some people's days.
@trafficscotland It had to be done ...
