Muenster Wreck: Big Rig Hauling Cheese Crashes In Washington

BINGEN, WA — A big rig truck carrying a shipment of cheese shredded a guardrail along a Washington highway on April 14 and flipped over after the driver said he was stung by a bee.

The crash happened outside of Bingen, Washington, along State Route 14 as the truck was on its way from Idaho to Tillamook, Oregon, according to KOMO News. The truck crashed into a guardrail before heading down an embankment and flipping over, spilling its precious cargo.

The driver was uninjured in the crash and said it was caused when a bee stung him, according to Washington State Patrol Trooper Will Finn.

“The driver is a little #blue after being cited but thankfully doing very #gouda,” Finn said on Twitter.

Additional troopers were called to the scene to help remove “DeBrie” from the embankment and highway, according to Finn. However, the clean up took longer than expected as the truck's fuel also spilled out, KOMO News reports.
