Are we to assume all the pigs escaped unharmed ?

Looks like no pigs were on the truck, amazing how they run away leaving injured to suffer, especially when they are the drivers
I'm standing up, so I must be straight.

Given the cages were empty I think we can safely assume they are all now very dead and either eaten and awaiting to be eaten.

Yeah, what is it with drivers always fleeing the scene? The lorry owners will know who they are, they'll just go to their home and find them hiding under a table or in a hammock.
Re: Pig Truck Drives Off Bridge; 1 Dead, Driver Escapes
Its very odd, being that such as a very serious accident has this, the trusted and responsible driver employed by the owner does a Roger Bannister (who broke the four-minute-mile} how quick was the truck driver to escape the crowd and authorities.
It seems the law is that, the owner is not responsible, so even knowing or not knowing his employee is not in question, so when his driver stops hiding under a table or in a hammock somewhere and recovers his breath back from all the running about, he will probably return to work.
Always "hope" but never "expect".
