A truck with about 50 pigs has driven off the road and overturned on national highway 52 in Kumla. Police and emergency services have been called to the scene.
– There are no injuries and as for the animals, a veterinarian is on the way to see to the animals’ well-being, says police spokesperson Lars Hedelin.
The pigs are kept in the overturned truck until the vet arrives.
– This must be done very orderly, otherwise it can become a dilemma, says Lars Hedelin.
The police do not suspect any crime in connection with the accident. The Swedish Transport Administration estimates that the accident will affect traffic until 10:00.
