Why'd the chicken cross the road?

A chicken races a truck at the corner of the I-10 service road and Gulfway Drive in Winnie on Wednesday, Feb. 28, 2007. The chicken caused a minor delay at the intersection as motorists stopped to rescue it.

Awwwwww . . . I guess this time I'm a sucker for a happy ending. :)
You just happened to be in Winnie or did you get called out to the scene? :P
I was heading back to Beaumont from a shoot in Fannett. I saw the chicken in the median under the I-10 bridge.
I didn't have a chicken-in-the-road photo in my archive, so I had to stop for it.
The chicken got to the grass after the top photo and I thought it would work its way into the forest.
I went back to my truck and was about to leave when I realized it was back out in the road and people were chasing it. So, I had to chase them. :-)
Glad you stopped . . . those turned out nice. I especially like the top one.
Nice ones. Now for the age-old question of which came first, the chicken or the egg.
Got me. I'm still trying to figure out why the chicken was there.

Nice story.
Leave it to me to ask an oddball question... but how do you figure out what to call the road on the side of the highway in a caption? Is it based on local dialect or what?
Then again, if you used local dialect around here it'd be the feeder road...
As far as I know, they're all called service roads or frontage roads.
