Street pig causes traffic chaos after trotting on the main road

Motorists were stuck in an unlikely traffic jam this morning after a runaway hog hogged the road.

Traffic was brought to a standstill after the large fattening hog was spotted dodging vehicles on the A6121 in Ryhall, Lincolnshire.

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

He said: “I was walking down the path and noticed that the traffic was stopped.

“There are traffic lights at one end of the street but the cars didn’t move even when it turned green.

“I heard an oinking sound and suddenly this big pig was carelessly walking down the street in front of a truck.

“The drivers just looked on in disbelief.

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

“You don’t see that every day, but it’s a relief that the pig wasn’t hurt. The road is very busy, especially during rush hour.”
