A dozen policemen chased and captured 300 piggies over an 18-hour period after a truck overturned on an expressway near Nanjing, Jiangsu province.

While approaching Nanjing on February 13, the truck capsized after a tire blew out. Although no one was hurt, the fleeing piggies posed a threat to other vehicles.

After their strenuous effort, the police officers realized they smelled like pigs. One joked that they were not able to embrace their wives the following day, which was Valentine's Day.
