The vehicle, which was holding about 20 million bees in 460 boxes, overturned on the DE#896 northbound on-ramp to I-95 northbound in Newark shortly after 6 p.m., according to officials.
Officials say 90 percent of the bees escaped from their boxes during the accident and began to swarm the ramp.
The 55-year-old truck driver and two passengers in their 20's suffered minor injuries in the crash. Officials also say they were stung 50 to 100 times each by the insects. The three men were taken to the hospital where they are currently in stable condition.

Hope these drivers are held responsible for the loss of bees. That's an expensive mistake.
