pix11.com - An escaped goat on the busy Pulaski Skyway snarled the morning commute after causing several collisions and evading police for nearly two hours. The goat, named ‘Sky’ by one of the responding officers, had a U.S. Department of Agriculture tag and likely escaped from a truck en route to a slaughter house. It took five police officers to finally corner the goat, who caused four traffic accidents by jumping back and forth over the concrete divider. The goat, which was uninjured, was brought to the Liberty Humane Society in Jersey City.
