Pigs run wild after fiery truck crash on I-15 near Las Vegas

Traffic was still moving slowly on Interstate 15 early Monday a few miles north of the California-Nevada border after an overnight fire to a tractor-trailer allowed pigs to run on the roadway.

In a tweet sent out just after midnight, the Nevada Highway Patrol said the southbound lanes of I-15 outside Las Vegas were closed because of a “tractor trailer fully engulfed and a large amount of pigs running in the travel lanes.”

Clark County Fire Department spokesman Dan Heenan said firefighters put out the fire.

The crash happened about 7 miles north of Primm and about 35 miles south of Las Vegas. Traffic was still slowed as of 5:45 a.m.
