INDIO, Calif. (AP) – A big-rig hauling frozen chicken collided with a truck carrying bees in Southern California, igniting a fireball that quickly cooked the chicken.
The California Highway Patrol says the crash 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 highway patrol officers on the scene reported bees buzzing everywhere.
Photos, meanwhile, showed chunks of blackened, highway-roasted chicken.
