On Monday, June 30, 2025, a semi-truck carrying 1,600 piglets overturned on I-15 near Wolf Creek in Montana. It happened just before 8:00 am by mile marker 225 southbound.
The semi-truck crashed due to a mechanical failure. The driver was injured but walked away.
The Piglets Were On Route To Iowa When The Accident Occurred
The driver left from the Milford Hutterite Colony, about 20 minutes away from the scene of the accident, and was headed to Iowa.
The House With A Crazy Story Is Back
After the accident, Wolf Creek Fire Department got a hold of the Hutterite colony and they also sent people to wrangle the cargo and clean up the site of the accident.
Wolf Creek Fire Chief told KTVH:
Our two biggest things were trying to contain the contents of the semi trailer and keep traffic flow moving, and we are keeping the traffic moving and we are getting the animals contained. He added, If it had been a half mile up the road, the interstate would have been completely shut down.--Wolf Creek Fire Chief, Rocky Infanger
What Happened To The Piglets?
The Montana Department of Livestock along with the Hutterites loaded up the piglets and the carcasses and took them back to the Milford Colony. The colony has uses for the deceased piglets like fertilizer and oil.
