Plainfield, IN – Drivers along I-70 in Hendricks County are being urged to use extra caution this morning after reports of a large pig running loose near Ronald Reagan Parkway.
According to the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) West Central District, the animal was seen near the I-70 interchange close to the I-465 connector. Officials are warning motorists to stay alert and avoid distractions while crews and animal rescue groups attempt to locate and secure the animal.
Oinking Acres Farm Rescue & Sanctuary confirmed they received reports early Monday of what’s believed to be a 450-pound pig wandering along the highway. The group stated the animal may have been under the bridge near the I-70/I-465 split when last seen.
Animal control and volunteers from Oinking Acres are canvassing the area. The pig is reportedly frightened and could dart into traffic if approached too closely. Authorities ask anyone who spots the animal to contact local law enforcement or animal control immediately.
Marion and Hendricks counties are both assisting with the search effort to ensure the safety of drivers and the animal.
