A semi load of approximately 300 hives on pallets overturned on I-55 in 
Southeast Missouri, a first for our local emergency responders.

Several beekeepers came to assist.  The driver didn't survive and was 
pulled from the wreckage.  

As we left at nightfall, the truck and trailer are still on it's side just 
off the highway.  Most of load is still intact on the trailer, though 
obviously dishelved.  The bees are really ticked and flying around.  It 
looks like the trailer will have to be unloaded before it can be pulled 
out of the cornfield.

For those of you who have witnessed such an accident, how did they go 
about getting everything settled?  How can we local beekeepers help?  
What's next?
