A truck on Interstate 80 ran off the road and fell into a ditch, causing millions of bees to be released.

The truck, carrying a full load of bees, was traveling eastbound on I-80. A Highway Patrol officer said that the driver apparently fell asleep at the wheel. The truck veered off the road and landed in a ditch. Millions of bees were released into the surrounding area when the truck landed on its passenger side.

The truck driver was not seriously injured in the wreck and refused medical attention when an ambulance arrived. Witnesses at the scene say the driver was more concerned about recovering the bees.

The Highway Patrol officer said he could see bees in every direction when he arrived on the scene. He went on to say, “I would say probably a football field in any direction from the truck was swarming with honey bees.”

Two other trucks stopped to see if the driver was alright, but they were unable to get out of their trucks because of the bees.

Beekeepers from nearby counties volunteered their time to assist the driver.

The driver of the truck was cited for failure to maintain a single lane of travel.
