South Carolina Highway 26 Pig Outruns Two Troopers in Rush Hour Ballet

South Carolina pig wrangler dashcam: A lone piglet weaves through roaring Highway 26 traffic as two highway patrol troopers—boots squeaking—stage a hoofed pursuit. Trending: “How do police catch runaway pigs?” and “Why do pigs cross the road?” Chapin’s own I-26 starred, troopers declared, “Thanks to Richland County Sheriff’s Department for their assistance at the scene and helping ensure this little piggy had a good home after the incident.”
Launching from the image of a pig ballet among SUVs, the fleeing swine’s unexpected star turn halted one of South Carolina’s busiest interstates as Richland deputies joined the chase. Popular queries: “What happens to rescued livestock?” “Do animals cause highway delays?” This piglet dodged fender benders and bureaucracy, earning a new residence and perhaps a nomination for ‘Best Traffic Disruptor’ at next year’s county fair.
The I-26 piglet not only delayed traffic but secured a “good home”—beating the odds in a state where the average livestock escape rarely trends beyond local bingo night.
