Commuters could not believe their eyes this morning when they saw a cow in the middle of a busy roundabout.
Police received two reports of the lone animal.
It was spotted first on a pavement in Shoreham and then on the Salting roundabout on the A259 just after 7am.
A police spokesman said: "It makes a change from a zebra crossing. It must have just been having a wander."
When police arrived to rescue the cow before the rush hour began, it was nowhere to be seen. They suspect it wandered back to nearby fields.
