Truck Transporting Pigs Involved in Collision

If you were driving down I-435 North to I-35 North in Kansas City, MO last week you might have seen fifty pigs running across the road. That is because a truck accident on Monday caused the driver to lose control, allowing up to fifty pigs to escape.

Luckily the driver was wearing a seat belt when he took the curve too fast and lost control of his vehicle. According to Highway Patrol Sgt. Rick Fletcher emergency crews attempted to round up the pigs but it wasn't an easy task as "they go every which way but the way we wanted them to go."

Although it isn't known what the final destination of the pigs was, if it was a slaughterhouse or not, but a few pigs did lose their lives in the wreck. None were injured running around in traffic, however.
