Road Hog! Runaway pig causes traffic jams at rush-hour

Motorists were stuck in traffic jams after a runaway pig trotted down a busy main road during rush hour.

Traffic was brought to a halt after the large porker was spotted dodging vehicles on the A6121 at Ryhall, UK, on the morning of Wednesday, March 8.

Photographer Jason Richardson, 29, snapped pictures of the animal as it wandered down the middle of the road just after 8 am.

He said: “I was walking along the path and noticed the traffic was at a standstill.

“There are traffic lights at one end of the road but the cars weren’t moving even when it changed to green.

“I heard an oinking sound and suddenly this large pig wandered down the road in front of a lorry without a care in the world.

“Motorists were just watching in disbelief.

“I watched it for about half an hour as it trotted in and out of the cars before it ran up to a grass verge and through a hedge.

“It’s not something you see every day but it’s a relief the pig wasn’t hurt. The road is very busy, especially during rush hour.”
