Truck Carrying 500 Pigs Overturns, Kills Animals Pennsylvania

A tractor trailer carrying approximately 500 pigs overturned Monday morning on Long Road in Juniata County, Pennsylvania, leading to a temporary road closure. Fire crews and an animal response team worked to wrangle the loose piglets and transfer most of the surviving pigs to other trucks, though several pigs were killed in the crash. The driver of the vehicle was not injured, and the overturned truck was later towed upright. The road closure between Cedar Springs and Happy Hollow Roads was expected to last for an extended period due to the incident. Images from the scene showed piglets outside the trailer and the overturned vehicle in a cornfield embankment. Authorities continue to manage the situation and update the public as it develops.
