When Pigs Fly?

Frozen Pigs Fly Onto LA Freeway
POSTED: 1:42 am EST November 14, 2006
 LOS ANGELES -- A big rig collided with a box truck carrying a load of frozen pigs on southbound Interstate 5 near Los Angeles on Monday night, scattering the carcasses all over the roadway.

The California Highway Patrol said the pigs were strewn over 80 feet of the Golden State Freeway near Sylmar. No one was hurt in the collision, which was reported shortly after 7:30 p.m. Monday.

Authorities closed two truck lanes to investigate the cause of the crash.  Caltrans has brought in a dump truck and loader to pick up the carcasses.

 

This gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "When pigs fly", doesn't it? Can you imagine calling your insurance company and explaining damage done to your car as a result of a flying pig?  I really don't know what to say about this, other than I'm sure my dear dear friend Diva Stacy will be very upset when she reads this.
