Does Santa know about this?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Two reindeer caused quite the traffic jam as they strolled through the 5 Freeway in Pacoima early Saturday morning.<\/p>\n
\u201cCookie\u201d and \u201cNoel\u201d apparently escaped their transport trailer and were seen running down the freeway.\u00a0<\/p>\n
One of them was hit by a car but is expected to be okay, according to LA Animal Services.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to the California Highway Patrol, the animals were on the southbound 5 Freeway in the Pacoima area at around 6:30 a.m.<\/p>\n
“It was quite a sight to see traffic come to a complete stop,\u201d said Steven Bracamontes, who witnessed the traffic backup.<\/p>\n
Bracamontes said he had front-row seats while headed southbound on the 5 Freeway, just before the 118 ramp toward San Fernando.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI noticed two Caltrans trucks swerving across lanes, which is when I realized there was a reindeer on the roadway. My first thought was that Santa had lost one of his helpers,\u201d Bracamontes said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Shortly after capturing the video, Bracamontes said the reindeer began moving toward oncoming traffic.<\/p>\n
LA Animal Services managed to wrangle the reindeer and they have since been reunited with their owner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Does Santa know about this?\u00a0 Two reindeer caused quite the traffic jam as they strolled through the 5…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":455922,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5123],"tags":[1582,276,2961,224,5337,46260],"class_list":{"0":"post-455921","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-california","10":"tag-la","11":"tag-los-angeles","12":"tag-losangeles","13":"tag-pacoima"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115741588539663995","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/455921","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=455921"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/455921\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/455922"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=455921"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=455921"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=455921"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
