Pig reportedly running on I-70 leads to accident

Was there a pig escaping from Easter dinner last Friday on I-70 in Kansas City, Kan.?

No one seems to know why the pig was in the road or what happened to it.

Official reports show that a two-vehicle accident on eastbound I-70 near the I-635 exit occurred around 4:10 p.m. Friday, April 3.

A Kansas Turnpike Authority trooper reported that one driver, from Platte City, Mo., tried to avoid a pig in the road and his vehicle was struck by a Kansas City, Kan., man driving a GMC Sonoma.

A KTA spokesman said although the trooper never saw any evidence of a pig, there were four different witnesses who all said there was a pig running in the road.

“There haven’t been any reports of other farm animals so at this point we don’t have any guess as to where the pig might have come from or disappeared to,” the KTA spokesman said.
