The accident happened on U.S. Route 35 in Xenia, which is just southeast of Dayton, officials said. After the crash was reported at about 7:00 p.m. ET, both west and east bound lanes of the bypass were closed, according to NBC affiliate WDTN.

Multiple fire agencies, paramedics, officers and regular citizens were attempting to wrangle the baby pigs, according to a Green County dispatch.
