A sandbar shark being transported in a tractor trailer died on Wednesday afternoon in Volusia County, Florida, after the vehicle blew a tire and ran off Interstate 95.

The trailer crashed into a wooded area off the road around 2:20 p.m., authorities told the Daytona Beach News-Journal. The shark, one of four being transported, died after being ejected from its tank in the crash, according to NBC affiliate WESH, although it's unclear whether it ended up outside the trailer.

A team from SeaWorld rescued the remaining sharks and brought them to the Orlando park for the time being, SeaWorld spokeswoman Becca Bides told The Huffington Post on Thursday.

The sharks were en route from Marathon, Florida, to the New York Aquarium in Coney Island, Brooklyn.

Also, Huffington Post is out of control

Im sure someone will eat him for dinner and offer shark jerky on that exact highway a week later.

That kind of sucks, poor animal did nothing wrong. And funny on the ad link considering the amount of pubic hair threads I have seen in the short time since I joined GAF.

Florida, where car accidents aren't bad enough, so they added sharks to them.

This would've thrown people off too because typically wildlife = Australia.

 

[GKSilKamina]

Great. As if dealing with all the bad drivers in Florida wasn't bad enough, now I have to worry about them flinging sharks at me when they crash!

Oh wait, this happened in Flordia. Nevermind.
