Motorists get their ducks in a row

The ducks finally managed to safely cross the motorway

You may not be familiar with the American phrase "Minnesota Nice", but now a video may show proof of it.

A traffic camera in the United States caught a family of ducks crossing a busy motorway during rush hour traffic this past week.

Each time it looked like mother duck and her babies were goners, a soft-hearted Minnesotan swerved to avoid them.

In the end, the family made it safely across - it's believed they may have been following an errant chicken.

Watch the video.
