At least six passengers were killed after they were stung to death by bees when the bus they were traveling on crashed on a road in Nicaragua.
Authorities said Santos Herrera, 22, was driving on El Caracol-La Rica route that covers the northern cities of Jinotega and San Sebastián de Yalí, when he encountered mechanical problems and lost control of the school bus in the municipality of San Sebastián de Yalí on Monday.
The crash sent the bus crashing into a 160-foot-deep slope where the beehives was were located.
The impact of the crash caused the bus to break open multiple wooden boxes and allowed the swarm of African bees to escape the hives where they produced honey.
