Xmas Chaos 3,000 Reindeer Hold Up Traffic On Motorway

This is the moment around 3,000 reindeer hold up the traffic on a Siberian motorway sparking festive chaos for motorists.

The unusual sight took place on a motorway between the towns of Salkhard and Nadym in the north-central Russian region of Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug.

The incident was filmed by a Russian journalist who said it took around 15 minutes for the reindeer to be herded on the motorway as drivers waited patiently for them to cross.
