The porkers were being transported down the M1 when the livestock trailer carrying them overturned at junction 44 near Rothwell this morning.
The Land Rover towing the trailer suffered a tyre blow-out which caused it to crash.
The carriageway was closed for a short period while the vehicle was recovered.
The pigs and the driver were unhurt.
