Animal-related crashes are nothing new, but a wreck caused by a cicada is a first. Police in Blue Ash, Ohio confirmed that the tiny insect was indeed to blame for a single-vehicle accident after it startled the driver of the Kia involved.
It is remarkable that something so small could lead to a crash, yet the distraction was apparently enough. The unusual incident serves as an oddly memorable reminder that even the briefest lapse in focus behind the wheel can have real consequences.
