BUENA PARK, CALIFORNIA - A driver crashed into a home in Buena Park, Calif. — but it wasn’t the accident that caused them to seek medical care.
It was bees.
According to an Instagram post shared by the Buena Park Police Department, on “August 10, 2024 at approximately 12:15 pm, Officers responded to a vehicle vs. house traffic collision…a bee hive was also damaged and the occupants were not pleased.”
The post shared that the bees “savagely attacked the driver who was taken to the hospital with a few stings after the OCFA [Orange County Fire Authority] cooled the bees off with some soap and water.”
In the police department’s video, the front end of a silver Infiniti G35 sports car appears embedded in a corner wall underneath a now-destroyed window — and a swarm of bees is visible above the car.
The police department even added a bee emoji and bee-themed soundtrack to the video.
“So the driver destroyed 2 homes,” observed one commenter.
In the next shot, members of the fire department are shown spraying down the scene with water.
Although it was not clear if the driver had an allergic reaction to the bee stings, the Mayo Clinic does note that “Multiple stings…can be a medical emergency that requires immediate treatment.”
