Had to take a different route to work Monday. A tractor-trailer rig hauling pigs overturned about 3:30 am on the highway I take to work and some of the hogs got loose. The wreck and the roaming porkers closed a stretch of Interstate 430 connecting Little Rock to North Little Rock. The papers said 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 Livestock and Poultry Commission was called out to help round up the pigs. Unfortunately about twenty hogs had to be put down due to injuries.
