Freeway closed as ornery oinker hogs traffic
A pig named Mama falls onto the freeway, causing hours of commuter chaos
By susan payseno Staff reporter
PORTLAND — Westbound traffic on Interstate 84 was backed up for nearly five miles early Monday when “Mama,” a 600-pound hog on the way to slaughter, fell from the back of a truck. For two frustrating hours, the sow refused to budge.
Fred Mickelson told police that he was taking six sows and a boar from his farm in Lyle, Wash., to a slaughterhouse in Carlton when Mama escaped.
“I heard the tailgate fall off, and I looked back and saw her standing in the road,” Mickelson said with a sigh. “I thought: ‘Oh, no. We’ve got some real trouble now.’ ”
Mama was “pretty lively and loud” when she hit the ground, Mickelson said, lumbering between cars and causing havoc on a foggy day.
“That pig really honked off a lot of commuters.” — TRACY COLLINS, Oregon state police
trooper
There were no accidents, police said. After about an hour of chasing the pig with the help of police, Mickelson began mulling over his options, which included having a veterinarian tranquilize the hog.
About 10 a.m., a crew of highway workers arrived and decided to use a front-end loader to pick up the sow and load her back into the truck.
“That pig was in no hurry to move,” said Wally Benson, the highway crew chief. “I think she knew where she was being taken, and she was in no hurry to get there.”
Even the police were sympathetic to the pig’s plight. “That pig really honked off a lot of commuters,” said trooper Tracy Collins — a vegetarian. “But I was sad to see her go.”
