An Ohio man crashed his car into a pole after a cicada flew in his face while he was driving

• An Ohio man was driving when a cicada suddenly flew in his face causing him to crash into a pole.
• The aftermath of the incident was captured by a Cincinnati Police bodycam.
• Vincent Bingham said he was driving when the insect "smacked" him in the face, Fox News reported.

A Cincinnati, Ohio man crashed into a pole after a cicada flew in his face while he was driving, according to Fox News.

Body camera footage posted by the Cincinnati Police Department on Thursday shows an officer asking Vincent Bingham what led to the crash, Fox News reported.

"I was driving, and I'm guessing it was a cicada flew in and smacked me right in the face," Bingham said in the video.

The officer then walked over to speak with witnesses who were driving behind Bingham on the road, the bodycam footage shows.

A man told the officer that Bingham was not speeding before he suddenly struck the pole.

"He said a cicada flew in his face, which honestly I'm tempted to believe because there's one stuck in the console of my cruiser," the officer responded.

"Brood X" cicadas have been swarming in the mid-Atlantic, so much that they were picked up by weather radar in Virginia.

A cicada even landed on President Joe Biden's neck last week as he was boarding a flight to Europe, and a White House plane was delayed for hours due to thousands of the insects on the exterior of the plane.
