A Hermann tortoise was found crossing the M25 London orbital motorway near J7 the M23 intersection.

He was microchipped in the USA, suggesting his American owners have relocated to the UK, but have not updated their address with the microchip company.

'Freeway', as he has been named, is being cared for at an animal rescue centre near Worthing, Sussex.

Yes, my inlaws cut this out of the paper for me to see, unbelievable story this.
Hope the rightful owners see this in the press and get him back.
