OKLAHOMA CITY - Interstate 40, the main east-west highway in Oklahoma, was closed for several hours Thursday when about 800 baby pigs spilled on to the road after the truck transporting them overturned, police said Friday.

Several pigs were killed when their vented livestock truck overturned just east of Oklahoma City. And the pigs, all of which were under a year old, had little idea what to do with their first taste of freedom.

The freeway was closed in both directions as state troopers, firemen and ambulance workers doubled as farm hands in a bid to prevent the pigs from running amok in the Oklahoma City suburbs and return them to a pig farm, police said.

Some of the pigs plunged to their deaths when they jumped off a highway bridge near the wreckage as law enforcement officials were closing in for their capture.

Funny, when this happens in the City, it makes news, but where Im from in the panhandle, this sort of thing happens daily, nobody ever hears about it.

Funny what some people think good news is.

What they didn't tell you was that the accident happened right at an overpass. Some of the more daring piggies realized that if they hopped over the edge they would be free.. 30 feet up, but free.

I feel sorry for the people who were driving underneath the bridge. Heard about 30 made it over the edge before the humans realized what was happening and got them away from the bridge.

Kinda sad that a bunch of bacon and ham can shut down a major highway in america.
