In San Francisco last night (September 5), traffic was slowed to a halt for commuters crossing the Golden Gate Bridge—but it wasn’t due to gridlock. This time, the slow pace was caused by a couple of deer who decided to use the bridge for their own outing!
The San Francisco Chronicle reports that the California Highway Patrol received a call about the deer around 5:24 p.m. But by the time they arrived around 6 p.m., the two animals had already trotted their way across, toward whatever evening plans their Friday night held.
All the images show the commuters carefully slowing down to make sure the deer go unscathed. So, what might be the real story here is that a bunch of Friday night commuters were showing compassion!
Sometimes it takes a little nudge from the animal kingdom to help us get our priorities in order. Getting home quick is important sure, but not at the expense of these two adorable, unsuspecting deer.
Here’s a windy clip of the two on their journey across the bridge:
Happy travels my dears (had to)!
