Elephants?

Yesterday afternoon--well pretty much off and on all day--it snowed and blowed.  So bad that there was a 40 car pile up on I70, about 25 minutes from us.  It affected every other interstate in the area.  And some of the roads that have exits off of I70.  People were stuck on the road for hours.  If I remember right, the accident was about 2 pm.  The road did not open up until almost 10 pm!

One of semi trucks that slid off the road, had some elephants in it.  Not sure where they were going, but hey!  This makes for a good story.  They (their trainers I'm assuming) had to unload the elephants from the one truck and load them onto another.  Could you imagine sitting in a huge back up and see 3 elephants walking down the road.  I'd be thinking "I've sat here too long; I'm seeing things."

As the news said:

They are in the care of their trainer and have not been injured.

At no time were they loose on the interstate.

They have since been re-loaded onto the truck and left the scene.

Nice to know.
