Canadian motorists get a moose warning

SASKATOON, Saskatchewan, Sept. 26 (UPI) -- A moose prowling the roads of Saskatoon set off a police alert, Canadian officials said.

Police said the moose was spotted within city limits just north of 14th Street and Circle Drive. The area is along Highway 16, a major traffic route, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. reported Sunday.

Officers in the area were to warn drivers if the moose tried to cross the road or otherwise became a hazard. Police hoped to watch from a distance to make sure the animal gets safely out of the city.
