The accident occurred yesterday on the A-92 on the border of Fuensanta with Moraleda de Zafayona within the Poniente de Granada.
The lorry had skidded off the highway and burst into flames, then a automobile bumped into it, which was not a really promising begin to the day for the pigs, though the day would have resulted in tears, even with out the accident.
With pigs roaming across the autovia lanes between the stricken automobiles, there quickly developed ten kilometres of tail again.
The Emergency name centre obtained an alert round 12.25h from a driver, who pinpointed the accident on kilometre level 214. The livestock lorry, by the way in which had set off from Murcia and had been heading for Málaga with an ETA of 15.00h.
The Guardia Civil de Tráfico, hearth service and road-repair crews (Parque de Maquinaria) have been quickly on the scene, as was an ambulance, which was not wanted in the long run. The hearth personnel not solely put out the flames, but in addition hosed down the pigs, which was an evident deal with for them, as was the froth on the highway – they have been solely lacking a bouncy fortress…
There have been much more serving to fingers on the scene as a result of a navy convoy stopped to assist out, though understanding soldiers, they may have thought no person would miss an absent pig – simply saying!
One final level; the Guardia Civil handed out water to the stranded drivers within the tailback after having been trapped within the jam for 4 hours.
