What's the wildest excuse for being late that actually turned out to be 100% true?

A few favourites from the original thread:
• Someone was late because their neighbour's runaway trampoline landed on their car, and the car was stuck until the fire brigade lifted it off.
• Another person said they were late because a flock of birds decided to block the road, and it took a while to shoo them away.

    I had one that sounds made up but was totally real. My coworker called in saying an escaped emu was circling his car and wouldn't let him get out. I thought he was messing with me until he got to the office and played a video of this giant bird pecking at his side mirror. We all watched it like five times, it was hilarious. He was stuck for almost two hours before someone from the farm came and got it. Honestly the best part was how serious he stayed the whole time. He just said 'told you' and sat down.

    My brother once had to call work because there was a massive pileup on the highway and a truck full of instant mashed potato spilled everywhere. Then it rained. He sent a photo and you could just see this thick white goo covering the whole road. His boss thought he was joking until he showed up two hours later with the picture as proof.

    Mine was nowhere near as wild but still weird. I was walking to the bus stop and my neighbor's old dog got loose and decided I was its new best friend. It followed me for three blocks, wouldn't go home, and I had to knock on a stranger's door to get help. Ended up missing the bus and was late to class. The teacher didn't believe me, but whatever.
