Two lanes of Old York Road in the town of York had to be blocked on Thursday night, according to the York County Sheriff’s Office, when a large hog was seen walking loose in the road.
Deputies were able to gather up the “road hog” and notify the animal’s owner, according to the sheriff’s office on Twitter.
The owner attempted to move the large pig, dubbed “Papa Pig,” to their home, but the trailer collapsed beneath the animal’s weight.
