There was traffic mayhem in Scotland this morning after a dog “took control of a tractor” and drove it onto the M74 motorway.
Transport body Traffic Scotland tweeted about the incident and it seems Don, a collie, leaned on the controls of the vehicle, which caused it to travel from a field into the middle of a road.
