Delays on M74 after dog 'drives tractor' on carriageway
Delays were caused on a busy stretch of motorway earlier "due to a dog taking control of a tractor".
The bizarre incident was reported on Twitter by Traffic Scotland at J13 of the M74 at Abington, South Lanarkshire.
It later emerged that a sheepdog called Don, owned by farmer Tom Hamilton, had leaned on the controls of his utility vehicle, taking it on to the road.
Police and Mr Hamilton later recovered Don, who was unhurt, and the vehicle, from the central reservation.
