Trucker rethinks loads after brush with bees

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah - Truck driver Louis Holst has never been scared of bees, but he's rethinking his next long-haul load a day after being swarmed by 25 million of the insects.

Holst and his wife, Tammie, picked up 460 bee hives in South Dakota and were about 36 hours into their drive on Sunday night when he hit a sharp bend on Interstate 15 in southern Utah. The twist in the road toppled his trailer and sent the bees into a frenzy.

First responders dragged him and his wife through the front window, Holst said. "Then we panicked."
