This afternoon, an accident in Barcelona between a car and a truck has left dozens of pigs in the middle of the road in Catalonia. For several hours the AP-7 has been closed between Barberà and Santa Perpètua in both directions, which has caused more than 10 kilometers of delays from Sant Cugat.
The crash involved a car and a truck carrying pigs. The accident has left four injured and the pigs to get out of the truck, forcing the traffic to be cut off, which continues with traffic jams. In the images that they have shared from the Mossos d'Esquadra account, you can see how the animals occupy the entire highway.
We work with the rest of the emergency services in this accident
As the pigs are moving on the road we are coordinating with @agentsruralscat, @bomberscat and @policiaSPM to restore traffic as soon as possible https://t.co/Y23i2DUFIY pic.twitter.com/gmzFBEu7jO

The truck overturned and the cab of the truck caught fire. After the arrival of the emergency bodies, the fire has been extinguished. The recommendations are to travel through the alternative routes C-16/C-25 (direction France) and B-23 (Metropolitan Area).
The Generalitat de Catalunya has reported that all the live animals have already been transferred and the dead ones are just being collected. Work continues to remove the truck that was transporting pigs with a crane and the road remains closed to the north. The southern direction of the AP-7 is already open and there are now roadblocks in a 12-kilometre stretch.
We have activated 8 land resources and a #bomberscat helicopter for the accident on the AP-7 in Santa Perpètua de Mogoda where a tourist and a truck loaded with pigs have collided, which has overturned and its cabin has caught fire.
At this moment, the fire is already extinguished. https://t.co/qTZ04DN5LW pic.twitter.com/VfHjnFJQ6X— Firefighters (@bomberscat) July 31, 2023
