LASALLE, ILLINOIS — Firefighters in LaSalle responded to an unusual call on May 8, 2026, after a truck driver at a Flying J truck stop was unable to enter his cab because bees had swarmed the vehicle.
LaSalle Fire Department’s Black shift responded to the Flying J and used a creative application of water to disperse the bees, allowing the driver to get back into his truck and continue on his way.
“With a little creative application of water, the driver was able to enter his truck and continue his journey. All in a day’s work for Black shift and LaSalle Fire,” the department said.
