Big Bug Goes Ballistic

Big Bug Goes Ballistic - A military truck driver carrying intercontinental ballistic missile components lost control of the vehicle when a large insect flew into the truck's open window and landed on the driver's back. As the distracted driver tried to remove the insect, the tractor trailer went off the road, tipping onto its right side. There were no injuries, and the accident posed no danger to the public.
