LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) -- Hogs on the highway aren't always motorcycles.Arkansas State Police say a tractor-trailer rig hauling pigs overturned early Monday on a major highway and some of the four-legged hogs got loose.
The wreck and the roaming porkers closed a stretch of Interstate 430 connecting Little Rock to North Little Rock.
State Police spokesman Bill Sadler said morning commuters were detoured around the area as troopers and others tried to corral the escaped hogs.
The swine could weigh as much as 800 pounds each.
Authorities said the truck was carrying about 90 hogs. Some of them remained in the trailer while others made a break for freedom.
The smart pigs ran for it. You better believe I would. They've got to know their 15 hour trip in the back of a crowded semi trailor isn't going to end well. The doors of that thing should say "welcome to your life as bacon." Speaking of bacon, it is C.Ropp's favorite food. I'm a really thoughtful girlfriend, so I bought him an air freshener that smells like bacon. He hasn't put it in his car yet, but I'm keeping my finger's crossed. Any day now... Any day.
