This was the joke of CA radio yesterday. The state built a wildlife refuge on one side of the highway so naturally, the pigs walked across the street to eat.

This guy was drunk, riding his motorcycle and hit one of the wild pigs and is now wheel-chair bound.

The jury awarded him millions since the state did not provide a way for the pigs to safely get across the street and, they did not put up any signed that pigs might be crossing. The state now, has erected a sign warning that pigs might be crossing. I'd say put a tunnel under the road.

I was hoping some one could provide the details to this story. Thanks much.

He was DUI, but I’d hardly call a .10 BAC “drunk.” Apparently the jury didn’t think that was an important factor in the accident, however.

"...The state now, has erected a sign warning that pigs might be crossing...."

How are they going to get the pigs to read the pig crossing signs?

It’s pretty safe to say that you are not familiar with Highway 1 along Carmel and the Pacific coast.
