Around 7:30 AM, approximately 30 sheep escaped from a nearby farm and ventured onto Interstate 95, bringing traffic to a standstill. Motorists were forced to slow down or pull over as the animals meandered across the roadway. The Baltimore City Police Department dispatched officers to the scene, who attempted to corral the sheep back to their enclosure. However, the animals proved uncooperative and continued to roam freely, causing further delays. For nearly an hour, traffic was restricted to one lane as the sheep blocked the other two. Emergency vehicles, buses, and countless commuters were affected by the unusual incident. “It was like something out of a movie,” said one stranded motorist. “I’ve never seen anything like it before.” The Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) reported that the traffic jam extended for several miles in both directions. They advised motorists to seek alternative routes if possible. Eventually, with the assistance of a local farmer, the police were able to round up the sheep and return them to their farm. Traffic flow resumed shortly after 8:30 AM. The incident has sparked amusement and disbelief among the Baltimore community. Social media has been flooded with photos and videos of the wandering sheep, with many residents sharing their own experiences with the unusual traffic delay. “This is definitely the most memorable traffic jam I’ve ever been in,” commented a local resident. “I can’t believe I got stuck behind a flock of sheep!” The exact cause of the sheep’s escape is still under investigation. The farmer has expressed his apologies for the inconvenience caused and is taking steps to prevent any future incidents.
