Bee blamed for car crash A bee that flew up a motorist's trouser leg is being blamed for a car crash that caused more than £7,000 of damage. The driver, from Mockmuhl in Germany, told police he lost control of the car and swerved into oncoming traffic when he tried to free the bumble bee from his trousers. No one was injured in the crash, but two cars were badly damaged. A police spokesman said, however, that they were still investigating the crash as the bee had "mysteriously disappeared" after the accident. Story filed: 10:16 Friday 20th June 2003
