Highway patrol officers in China had to temporarily seal off a major road after seven pigs launched a daring escape plan. The animals were being transported along Hangjinqu Highway towards Quzhou in a lorry when they managed to get free. Their escape wasn't noticed by Shi Congjun, the driver of the truck. Police rounded up the animals and got in touch with local radio stations asking them to broadcast a message about the escaped animals in an attempt to track down their owner. Hearing the message Shi checked the back of his lorry and discovered the empty cage. He then turned round and returned to the scene of the escape, where the unlucky pigs were hauled back onto the lorry
