Here you go:

In what might have been one of the first cicada-related traffic accidents in the Indianapolis area this year, an 18-year-old motorist landed upside-down in his pickup Thursday after he became distracted by one of the large insects.

Marion County Sheriff's Deputy Jay Grow said Joshua Packwood was driving north on Sargent Road about 11:30 a.m. when a cicada landed on him. He brushed the insect away but then had to swerve to avoid a pedestrian. His pickup left the road, hit a culvert and overturned in the 7800 block of Sargent on the Northeast-side.

Sargent, a two-lane road that runs between homes and apartment just east of Mud Creek, has no sidewalks.

The accident spilled gasoline onto Packwood, which kept medics from evacuating him by helicopter, Grow said. Packwood was extracted by Lawrence Township firefighters and taken by ambulance to Methodist Hospital, where a spokeswoman said he was in stable condition.

Cicadas emerge en masse after 17 years of living dormant underground. Despite their size and noisy demeanor, cidadas are harmless.

Their appearance continues to be spotty in Indianapolis, as some parts of the city lack the habitat beloved by the bugs. While underground, cicadas suck sap from tree roots. In places with few trees or where roots have been disturbed, the insects can't survive.

Sargent Road, with its canopy of leafy boughs, is ideal for cidadas.

I thought it was funny. The pic of the mangled truck, with the caption "Distracted by bug". That bug fucked that truck up!

What the kid says happened:
(in manly voice) "The bug landed on me, and I brushed it off, I then needed to swerve to miss a pedestrian"

What actually happened:
Big fucking bug landed on him, and he fucking freaked out screaming like a girl "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! !!!"
and waving his arms around like a lunatic.

Meh, I'm waiting for my roommate to finish up his business anyhow, thought I'd help out

Yeah, i been hearing about those bitches. Species X or something.

Supposedly they come up only once every decade or so from the ground in huge (like... really huge) swarms and bumble around everywhere.

Thank god i don't have to worry about that in central New York state (which is the ONLY good thing i've experienced up here).

Once every 10 years? Try every freaking summer in Arizona. They don't freak me out or anything, but that godawful noise they make is just about enough to drive anybody insane. During the months when they are thickest you can't go anywhere outside without that incessant buzzing, it gets pretty loud when there are a lot of them around.

When I was a kid we used to capture them and tie string around their abdomens leaving their wings free. They'd fly like mofos trying to get away from you and you'd just slowly let the string out as you spun them in circles using the power of their own flight to propel them. Let the string out a little more, a little more, a little more and suddenly they'd brain themselves on a tree in the yard as it would never occur to them to fly back towards you instead of trying to pull away from you (which the string wouldn't let them do). Sounds like a cruel thing to do, but it couldn't happen to a nicer bug.
