Missing tractor trailer driver after bee truck crash on I-77
On I-77 southbound a tractor trailer rear ended a honeybee truck, sending it off a guardrail down a mountain embankment. The bee truck driver remains missing, while a Pleasantville Pennsylvania man and his 13 year old daughter in the bee truck were hospitalized with minor injuries. A passenger in the tractor trailer was mistaken for the driver. Crews used a crane to lift the rig without finding the driver. Cold weather hampered search efforts.
