YORK COUNTY, S.C. — A large pig known as “Papa Pig” shut down a York County, South Carolina road and forced police to come move it so traffic could get by.
The York County Sheriff’s Office tweeted photos showing the pig taking up multiple lanes of traffic. It took officers just a few minutes to corral the animal and load it into a trailer, WSOC reported.
TRAFFIC: Two lanes are closed at Old York Rd. at Earnest Dr. in York because… and we’re not kidding… a large pig blocking the road & causing onlooker delays. We’re there making sure it’s safe until we can find the owner or Animal Control can round him up. #YCSONews #Traffic pic.twitter.com/u07bGr1asi

However, the pig was so large it broke the trailer its owners brought to take it home. The York County Sheriff’s Office Mounted Patrol had to bring its horse trailer to get the pig back home, CNN reported.
