According to the rescue service, it is about 30 pigs in the trailer, which ended up on their side in the ditch.
— There must be around 30 pigs, we have received. We do not yet know how they are doing or if there are any who died in the accident, says Henrik Svensson, officer on duty at the rescue service Västra Skaraborg.
At 1 p.m., work was still underway to transfer the animals to new transports.
– They are now working to be able to move the pigs from the trailer that is in the ditch to two trucks that have arrived. They had to open the back end, to pick them out that way, says Henrik Svensson.
— There is also a veterinarian on site.
What is behind the accident, which occurred on national highway 47, is unclear.
