Jun 10 (Japan Today) - Each of Japan's major cities has its own claims to fame. Tokyo is where mainstream entertainment and business trends emanate from. Yokohama is the breezy, multicultural city by the bay, while Kyoto, of course, is the heartland of traditional arts and culture.
And Osaka? It's known for boisterous comedy and hearty fare, which made the scene Thursday morning on Osaka Prefecture's Hanshin Expressway perhaps not totally surprising, although it was still plenty weird.
At roughly 9:30 in the morning, a truck en route from Nantan City in Kyoto Prefecture to Osaka City had made its way over the prefectural border and was passing through the town of Ikeda, roughly 30 minutes north of downtown Osaka. However, driver failed to notice a car that was parked on the road's shoulder. The truck crashed into the stopped vehicle, in the collision some of its cargo of 37 pigs got loose.
