Crews in Raleigh County worked most of Tuesday to catch several animals that were loose following an accident involving an overturned livestock trailer.
A supervisor with Raleigh County Emergency Operations Center said the accident was reported at 6:39 a.m. Tuesday in the 2700 block of Hinton Road in White Oak.
While the supervisor did not have details on how the accident occurred, she said it resulted in a pickup truck pulling a 30-foot double-stack animal trailer to overturn, releasing many chickens and pigs.
The road was closed as a result of the accident until roughly 11 a.m. as people worked to round up all the animals.
