No one was injured in this crash

(BLUE ASH, OH.) – Police say a cicada caused a crash in the Cincinnati-area on Thursday.

Nobody was hurt after a one-vehicle crash in Blue Ash.

A cicada flew into the window of a moving car and it led to the driver crashing, police said.

“We're all well aware that these pesky cicadas don't respect personal space, including while driving. It may be a good idea to keep the windows up for the next several weeks. As you can see, a cicada attack can be dangerous,” the Blue Ash Police Department said.

While Indiana isn’t the main area to see an emergence of 17-year cicadas this year, some residents may see them.
