According to a CHP incident report, a “giant pig” was running in the roadway on Highway 299 near Chezem Road in Blue Lake earlier this afternoon.
LoCO reader Joan Crandell sends us this picture of folks trying to wrangle the pig until its owners could be reached.
“Pig on 299 east of Redwood Creek and west of Chezem Road,” Crandell wrote on the LoCO Facebook wall. “She is very friendly. Drive slowly. Owner on way.”
According to the CHP report, after multiple attempts to find the pig’s owner, the proper owner was contacted and the pig was cleared from the roadway around 1p.m.
