<b>Raccoon With A Lead Foot Causes Traffic Jam</b>
Jul 8, 2003 4:10 pm US/Central
St. Paul (AP) Rush-hour traffic was hairier than usual in the Twin Cities, thanks to a hitchhiking raccoon.
Susan Gallagher of Maplewood had just dropped her kids off at day care center Tuesday and was on her way to work when something pushed her accelerator.
Gallagher checked the minivan's cruise control, but that wasn't it. Then she looked again at the gas pedal, she said, "and that's when I saw the claws and the raccoon on top of my foot, so I knew that he was with me in the vehicle."
After Gallagher pulled over, some state troopers arrived and decided to tow away the van for fear that releasing the raccoon on the freeway might cause an accident.
As it was, the scene caused a traffic jam on Interstate 35E during the morning rush hour.
Animal control officers took the raccoon away, and Gallagher still wonders how the critter got into her van.
