A rogue cicada flew into the SUV that a driver was operating in Ohio, causing him to lose control of the vehicle and flip it over as he frantically attempted to swat away the winged intruder. The driver was unable to see what was happening behind the wheel.
According to a crash report, the bizarre accident occurred on Wednesday afternoon when the bug-eyed monster flew through an open window of the Kia Sorento driven by the 37-year-old driver while he was driving through Blue Ash, which is located approximately 14 miles northeast of Cincinnati.
In an attempt to get rid of the buzzing annoyance, the driver, who was in a state of panic, ended up driving off the road, colliding with a pole, and rolling his silver automobile onto the passenger side.
“We’re all well aware that these pesky cicada don’t respect personal space, including while driving,” the Blue Ash Police Department stated.
“It may be a good idea to keep the windows up for the next several weeks. As you can see, a cicada attack can be dangerous.”
There was also a picture that the police released showing the wrecked vehicle lying on its side, with the windscreen cracked and the airbags appearing to have deployed.
In spite of the fact that the motorist went away without any injuries, the police joked that the boisterous suspect “fled the scene.”
