Truck crash in Death Valley involves bees, stings for several people

Passersby and first responders are stung by bees while tending to the driver who lost control of the big rig with its cargo of beehives.

A rollover crash of a tractor trailer carrying beehives in Death Valley National Park resulted in the driver and several emergency responders getting stung by bees.

On Sunday around 9:55 a.m., the unidentified male driver was traveling down a steep grade west of Towne Pass when he lost control of the big rig. The truck overturned several times, scattering the cargo of beehives, according to a press release by Death Valley National Park.

“Passersby extracted the driver from the truck, getting stung by bees in the process,” Death Valley National Park reported. “California Highway Patrol and National Park Service provided emergency response.

“The driver, a 35-year-old man from Las Vegas, had traumatic injuries from the rollover and bee stings. The patient was driven by ambulance to Panamint Springs Resort, where he was transferred to a Mercy Air helicopter ambulance to Antelope Valley Hospital.”

The driver’s condition was unavailable.

CA-190 was damaged in August as a result of the remnants of Hurricane Hilary. Most of CA-190 reopened Oct. 15, but is not fully repaired. However, there was no flood damage near this accident.

Texans’ NRG Stadium to ‘Make It Blue’ for first responders, essential personnel

The Houston Texans’ home, NRG Stadium, will take part in the #MakeItBlue and #LightItBlue campaign on Thursday, April 9.

New Houston Texans receiver Randall Cobb has said the world is experiencing “unprecedented times.” With the unusual circumstances comes uncommon heroism.

To show appreciation and respect for first responders and essential personnel working amid the COVID-19 pandemic, a nationwide #LightItBlue and #MakeItBlue campaign will light up cities across America in the color blue.

In addition to the Texans’ NRG Stadium, Minute Maid Park, the Toyota Center, Reckling Park, BBVA Stadium, TDECU Stadium, Rice Stadium, the George R. Brown Convention Center, Partnership Tower, and bridges over U.S.-59 will turn all their LED signage and/or exterior marquees blue from 8:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on Thursday, April 9.

Other cities that will take part in Thursday’s campaign are New York, Seattle, Boston, Kansas City, New Orleans, and many more. Hundreds of major sports, entertainment, and civic venues across the nation are expected to take part.

The #LightItBlue and #MakeItBlue movement started last week in the United Kingdom as major landmarks throughout the country were lit in honor of their healthcare workers. The goal is to show support and gratitude to the healthcare and essential personnel who are saving lives and keeping society stable in these trying times.
