Night-mare commute? Horses shut down Michigan highway

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – A group of horses shut down a Michigan highway just outside of Grand Rapids on Wednesday morning.

According to authorities, several horses were loose on M-6, between US-131 and Hanna Lake Avenue. Drivers in need of a stable commute were asked to find an alternative route.
