A lorry transporting live pigs overturned on the A-seven motorway in Librilla this morning, prompting a swift response from emergency services. The accident occurred around eight forty-one, following reports that a wheel on the lorry burst, causing the vehicle to lose control. The driver, who sustained injuries, was treated at the scene by medical personnel from a Mobile Emergency Unit and subsequently taken to hospital for further care.

Witnesses described a chaotic scene as pigs roamed freely on the road following the accident. The lorry came to a stop in the middle of two lanes, leading to significant disruption in traffic flow. Reports indicate that congestion extended over five miles as vehicles were forced to navigate around the wreckage.

The Emergency Coordination Centre received numerous calls notifying them of the incident and dispatched emergency responders quickly. Efforts are currently underway to clear the roadway and manage the loose animals, ensuring safety for all motorists.

Authorities urge drivers to exercise caution in the area as they work to restore normal traffic conditions on the A-seven motorway. More updates will follow as further information becomes available.
