VIDEO: Truck “surfing” sheep shocks motorists

A sheep was filmed hitching a ride on top of a truck as it drove through New Zealand recently.

The video was filmed by motorist Ada Rangiwai on Sunday, September 30th in Auckland, New Zealand on Auckland’s Southern Motorway.

In the clip, the silhouette of a sheep can be seen on top of a moving truck, shocking nearby motorists.

“We saw the sheep on top of the roof and I’m like ‘Oh my god, I have to record this, this is gold’…. It was surfing,” she said.

The sheep continued riding the roof of the rig until another motorist alerted the truck driver to its wayward passenger and he pulled over.

“I don’t understand how the sheep got on the roof,” Rangiwai continued.

“There must have been a hole in the roof and it climbed on its mates.”
