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.

Tragedy struck in Minot when a 2010 Chevrolet pickup truck collided with a 2000 Pontiac minivan traveling westbound on U.S. Highway 2.

Investigators learned that the 30-year-old man driving the minivan turned in front of the pickup truck as it was attempting to drive on 62nd Street Northwest. The driver of the minivan was taken to Trinity Hospital and later pronounced dead. Matthew McDonald, 26, and passenger Joseph Sallgren II, 26, escaped injury in large part due to their seat belts.

On Thursday morning, it is reported that a man from Granada Hills had to be rushed to a local hospital due to a serious arm injury.  According to reports, the man had been driving a box truck on Highway 118 in Simi Valley when his vehicle overturned, resulting in an injury.

Police say that the man, 55 year old Hector Garay, was entering the eastbound ramp on Sycamore Avenue when he veered to the right and hit a curb.  His truck then overturned, causing him to suffer injuries.

Garay told police that at the time of his truck accident, he was wearing his seatbelt.  However, he said that during the crash, his seatbelt became undone, causing him to fall to the right side of the vehicle.  His arm was then pinned under the truck and he had to be transported to the hospital for medical treatment.

The CHP says that the accident will remain under investigation.
