Traffic was snarled on an express way in southwest China this week after a truck carrying pigs overturned.

The swine could be seen running amok- darting this way and that- as traffic police tried to catch them.

At last the pigs were corralled under the rescue truck.

Police say traffic on the express way was stalled for about one hour.
