BATON ROUGE - Pig carcasses are scattered along the Mississippi River Bridge Tuesday night after the animals fell off the back of a truck and were run over by drivers.

Authorities said the incident happened on the middle of the bridge in the westbound lanes. Early reports say a driver hauling a trailer full of pigs unknowingly lost all of the animals when the gate on the trailer came loose, causing the pigs to fall out.

Approximately 30 pigs were hit by cars along the bridge. The carcasses are unrelated to a separate incident on I-10 at LA-1.

Who remembers when the cattle truck flipped over in that WB curve right before the bridge and the cows fell off the raised interstate? They had cowboys on horseback lassoing cattle on Government Street.

I remember the melon truck that flip and scattered that park and playground below. The news showed pictures of people loading up their cars with the melons. One dude had 20 in his back seat.
