It's not every day you see a goat running along a metro Atlanta interstate, but that's exactly what happened in Gwinnett County early Thursday for the second day in a row.

Doug Turnbull in the AM750 and 95.5FM News/Talk WSB Traffic Center reported just before 7:30 a.m. Thursday that a goat was running along the side of I-85 southbound at I-985.

During Wednesday afternoon's rush hour, Gwinnett police dispatchers reported a goat running along northbound I-85 about a mile south of there, near the Lawrenceville Suwanee Road exit.

There was no immediate word on whether the goat spotted Thursday was the same one seen on Wednesday.
