A semitruck carrying the pigs flipped onto its side in a single-vehicle crash on eastbound I-694 to northbound I-35E around 7:40 a.m. CT, according to the Minnesota State Patrol.
The crash left the drift of pigs wandering on the side of the highway.
Officials closed the highway as they worked to corral the pigs, even weaving between cars.
