INDIO, Calif. — The only thing missing was the barbecue sauce when a big-rig hauling frozen chicken collided in Southern California with a truck carrying bees and ignited a fireball that quickly cooked the chicken.
The California Highway Patrol says the accident on Interstate 10 near Palm Springs occurred shortly after 7 a.m. Monday.
The truck with the chickens burst into flames and was incinerated, but the driver escaped with minor injuries.
The driver hauling the bees was not hurt, although CHP officers on the scene reported bees buzzing everywhere.
