This ham on the lam.

Dozens of hogs ran loose on a Minnesota highway Friday after the semi-truck transporting them tipped over.

The rig — which was carrying 50 hogs — overturned just after 7:30 a.m. while traveling north on Interstate 694 near Little Canada, a city roughly 10 miles north of St. Paul, Minnesota State Patrol said.

The pigs scattered from the truck and were caught by city cameras trotting through the morning rush-hour traffic on both sides of the highway.

On the northbound side of the highway, the hogs took over all four lanes of traffic, forcing drivers to travel along the shoulder and causing a mile-long backup until officials shut down the interstate for several hours.

It took officers from four departments — including neighboring officers — nearly four hours to corral the swines, several of which were injured.

Unfortunately, 10 were killed in the crash.

The semi-truck driver was not hurt in the collision, according to Lt. Gordon Shank with the Minnesota State Patrol

It is not clear where the pigs were being transported, but some of their backs were marked with painted numbers, indicating they could have been headed to the slaughterhouse.

Investigators are still looking into what caused the semi to tip on its side as it navigated a curve on the interstate.
