A truck carrying pigs to a slaughterhouse has overturned in Burlington releasing some of the animals onto city streets.
Police say the truck was on its way to the Fearman Pork Plant, when it overturned at 7 a.m. trying to navigate the intersection of Appleby Line and Harvester Road.
Some pigs managed to escape but the majority remained trapped in the truck.
Photos posted on Twitter showed the truck completely on its side.
