Footage of nearly 50 pigs running around a motorway in China after they fell off their transport vehicle during a serious accident.

The video, captured in Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province on Friday, shows police officers managing the oncoming traffic while trying to drive the 48 pigs up the road to safety.

Rescuers can also be seen trying to carry the injured pigs to the side of the road.

The animals were eventually picked up by another animal transport lorry.
