Mary Hulet said she was driving home from the airport after 7 p.m. and was at the bottom of an area known as the "S curves" on Silver Avenue when she saw cars stopped ahead and it looked as if the road itself was moving.

"At first I thought, 'I'm just tired, there's like, there's no way," Hulet said. "As I looked and I kind of focused on it, I realized these were frogs or toads that were crossing the road."

"I'm just tired" is exactly what the toads want you to think.
