Spain ? A wild boar trapped in the middle of a major highway halted traffic for about 15 minutes outside Barcelona on Thursday, police said.

“The animal was disoriented and did not know how to leave from where it was,” said Sonia Gonzalez of the Catalonia Traffic Service.

Police were prepared to shoot the boar but it ran away.

The incident created a two-mile jam on a stretch of urban highway that is not far from a mountain range.
