A motorist who crashed into an Orange County home over the weekend was rushed to the hospital after the collision knocked loose a hive of bees that attacked the driver, officials announced Saturday.
Details are extremely limited and it’s unclear exactly how the driver ended up crashing into the home, but officers with the Buena Park Police Department responded to the Aug. 10 collision just after 12 p.m., according to a BPPD Instagram post.
In video of the crash aftermath, bees can be seen buzzing over the vehicle’s frontend, which collided with the corner of the home, taking out a window in the process.
“Nobody was injured in as a result of the collision, but a beehive was also damaged and the occupants were not pleased,” police said in the social media post. “They savagely attacked the driver.”
Medical personnel with the Orange County Fire Authority responded and took the driver to the hospital to be treated for multiple stings.
Firefighters “cooled the bees off” by spraying water and soap over the vehicle and the hive, authorities said.
“So, the driver destroyed 2 homes,” Instagram user @smilingjoce commented on the post.
It is unclear if anyone was inside the home when the motorist crashed into it or if the driver will be facing any charges related to the incident.
