Paramedics rush a 63-year-old man from Somerset to the Baldwin Medical Center after his fuel tanker flew off the side of the road. According to statements from the man, he had been swatting a bee before the big rig rolled over in a ditch. The State Patrol and county deputies responded to the accident at 10:58 am, along with the Baldwin Ambulance and United Fire personnel.
The driver said that a bee had entered his 2005 fuel tanker, and he had done his best to remove it, which is the reason for the truck rollover. According to radio transmissions, the man told them that the truck carried diesel fuel that had about 600 gallons. Thankfully, the rollover did not cause the tanker to lose the diesel fuel. However, according to a press release, the truck driver did sustain a brain injury and had to be taken to the Baldwin Hospital. They did not release the driver's name.

responded with a wrecker to take the truck from the highway and help control the traffic better. On more than one occasion, bees have caused close calls with car accidents. In a different situation, another trucker had had a bee hit his windshield, which sounded like a gunshot. It had frightened and surprised him so bad that he swerved off the road. Luckily, he was not injured, and the truck did not sustain damage because he pulled it together. However, it could have caused an accident.
In the past, bugs in general have caused accidents when in a large enough swarm. For example, in a town near Red Wing, Minnesota, a massive mayfly swarm had been blamed for a three-car accident. During this case, the massive swarm had diminished after several hours; however, not before they left behind a slimy mess on the bridge that linked Red Wing, Minnesota, and Hager City, Wisconsin. They blamed the slippery mess on the cause of the accident that resulted in one person being

The overall purpose of this investigation was to determine the effects of different types of environments on pill bug attractancy. Pill bugs were exposed to 2 different environments (sugar and water). The attractancy was observed and recorded in a raw data table. A research hypothesis was formulated that the sugar would work as the best attractant for pill bugs. Sugar had the greatest impact of the two environments used because it attracted 8/9 ants.
Accident? No, this was a choice. One might defend saying that they were scared and that they were trying to remove the threat. This is a legitimate argument, but it is still flawed, by saying this they are denying the fact that they were okay with running over a

Resilience is displayed through the drive shown by the characters in these stories, despite hardships or trauma in their pasts. In The Road, Papa and the boy continue to move forward and “carry the fire”, staying morally true to themselves, even despite the things they had seen. The boy’s mother shot herself, he has seen cannibalism, slavery, and people reduced to monsters and broken shells of humanity, but he is still fighting and trying to be one of the good guys. He still wants to help the little boy when he meets him, still wants to help Ely when he meets them (McCarty, 162); The Boy still has a desire to help people who are suffering. He is starving, but he wants to give away his food so that the people who are good in this world won’t die.

The short story “100 Miles per hour, Upside Down and Sideways” by Rick Bragg was well written and illustrates his personal experience with a 1969 General Motors convertible muscle car as well as its profound impact on his life. The challenges he had, primarily that of working for two long summers in blistering heat for minimum wage just to afford his dream car, had me thinking back when I too worked to afford my first car. I had worked long hours as a plumber till I was able to have the means to obtain what I believe is the most beautiful car I have ever seen: a 1972 Jaguar XJ6 Series 1. This saloon was my pride and joy; much like Braggs convertible was to him.
The accident happens in immense traffic. Cars are going faster and faster fighting for position. They are playing with death. The drivers are forced into going fast because they can no longer slow down. All of the sudden, two cars meet each other and destroy their drivers as well as the cars.
Just like the person being hit, it is caught unaware and unable to defend itself from the massive green truck. The amount of damage being done to both the person and the car is

And a lot had occurred at the same time as the crash has happened. The most deadly crash has occurred not in formula 1 but in the Le Mans 24 hour race in 1955. The crash occurred when a jaguar had slowed down so fast that the Austin Healy that was behind it swerved to avoid the crash and it hit a Mercedes and as a result that sent it flying over the crowed. About seventy seven were killed on the spot with a lot decapitated and another seventy seven badly
