Hungary's busiest highway, connecting Budapest with the Austrian capital Vienna, was closed early on Monday after a truck carrying rabbits crashed.

Five-thousand of the animals were let loose on the road, police say.

The M1 motorway was closed about 40 kilometres west of Budapest and could remain closed for hours while police try to capture the escaped animals, highway police spokeswoman Viktoria Galik says.

"There are thousands of them on the road but they're not using their newfound freedom well, they're just sitting around, eating grass and enjoying the sun," Ms Galik said.

I'd be hopping mad if I was stuck in that traffic jam...

I've only a little bit of shame in saying that. But it is there!

I found this bit funny...

"There are thousands of them on the road but they're not using their newfound freedom well, they're just sitting around, eating grass and enjoying the sun," Ms Galik said.

What the hell are they supposed to be doing? Haul *ss for Rio? Pull a Gaugin?

I wonder where they were headed...

They left out making babies.
