A semi-trailer carrying about 2,200 baby pigs overturned on an Ohio highway on Monday night, an official said, forcing a lane closure as authorities frantically chased piglets over the roadway and into an adjacent woods.
Up to 15 local police and fire agencies were still trying to capture the pigs more than two hours after the accident on State Route 35 in Xenia Township, about 16 miles east of Dayton, said a dispatch operator for the Green County sheriff's department who did not want to be identified. |
