Drivers Stop To Wrangle Hog Along I-5: VIDEO
You've seen the pictures, now watch the video of the capture of a hog that ran loose along I-5 Saturday.
FEDERAL WAY, WA - By now, you've probably seen the photos of the wild road hog that got loose along I-5 in Federal Way on Saturday. But now there's a video of the strange incident showing a group of passersby trying to wrangle the big boy.
According to state police, the hog jumped out of a trailer headed to a farm auction. The pig was wandering around near the weigh station along southbound I-5 in Federal Way. The owner of the pig eventually realized what happened and returned to the scene to pick up the hog.
When we posted the story on social media Saturday, it got a lot of attention and commentary. But the cleverest comment we got was from Holly Watkins-Dudschus of University Place.
