Does this happen anywhere else other than in South Dakota? A herd of horses caused a traffic hazard in the state's busiest city.

According to the Sioux Falls Police Department...at approximately 7 o'clock Thursday night the Sioux Falls Police Department began receiving several calls regarding a traffic hazard involving a herd of horses loose on the city streets.

The herd of about 10 horses was in the area of the intersection of East 26th Street and Southeastern Avenue.
