A runaway Zebra was shot dead Wednesday after it escaped a German circus and disrupted traffic on a major highway, police said. The elusive animal caused a two-car accident on the A20 highway. No one was injured in the collision.

The A20 highway was temporarily closed as attempts to secure the animal unfolded. “The animal was going in the wrong direction on the autobahn from Tessin to Rostock,” a department spokesperson told German broadcaster Deutsche Welle.
