Loose Pig On I-5 Slows Traffic
The pig jumped out of a trailer on the way to the farm auction.
FEDERAL WAY, WA - Good Samaritans wrangled with a loose pig along I-5 in Federal Way Saturday morning. The pig jumped out of a trailer, according to Washington State Patrol. Maybe the pig knew what was going to happen - the trailer was on its way to an auction.
The incident happened near the weigh station along southbound I-5. The owner of the trailer eventually realized what happened and returned to the scene to grab big boy.
