Escaped Honeybees Swarm Oklahoma Patrol Car

Motorists along Interstate 35 in Gavin County, Okla. ended up stranded in a multi-mile backup. The reason? An overturned truck was carrying an unusual load: honeybees. Lots and lots of honeybees.

The video below documents what life was like for a county sheriff whose vehicle was swarmed by the newly freed insects.

"Millions, millions of bees. I couldn't give you a number, but millions," a brave motorist who rescued the bee-truck driver told KFOR.

Working through the swarm, which set upon several emergency vehicles, beekeepers dispatched to the scene were able to recapture a couple of hundred thousand bees, KFOR reported. The truck driver was treated at a local hospital and later released.
