The scene was cleared by lunchtime.
A number of Twin Cities drivers had their morning commute delayed, due to pigs on the freeway.
Around 8 a.m., a semi hauling a trailer full of pigs overturned in Little Canada, stopping eastbound traffic on Interstate 694. Some of the pigs died, and those that did survive made their way onto the interstate. Luckily, no people were hurt in the crash.
