Runaway ostrich holds up motorway traffic

By Douglas Imrie

An ostrich sprinting down a motorway in Malaysia was caught on camera by an eagle-eyed commuter.

Her owner, an animal trainer, had decided to take the ostrich back to the farm where she'd been born because she had grown too large, when she escaped from his car.

Jeff Sandhu, who filmed the ostrich on the run, was later able to visit her in her new home and confirmed she was doing well.

His original clip has taken the internet by storm, gaining nearly 400,000 views since it was first uploaded.
