THESSALONIKI, Greece — Greek officials say a horde of frogs forced the closure of a key northern highway Wednesday for two hours.

Thessaloniki traffic police chief Giorgos Thanoglou said “millions” of the amphibians covered the pavement near the town of Langadas, some 12 miles east of Thessaloniki.

“There was a carpet of frogs,” he said.

Authorities closed the highway after three cars skidded off the road as their drivers tried to dodge the frogs. No human injuries were reported.

Thanoglou said the amphibians probably left a nearby lake to look for food.
