'Killer bees' sting 6 people to death in Nicaragua after bus plunges into ravine
Fox News
Six are dead after a swarm of "killer bees" were disturbed following a bus crash in Nicaragua. Though the victims survived the drop into a ravine, the bee stings ultimately killed them.
A bus carrying 60 passengers was making the hour-long journey from Jinotega to San Sebastián de Yalí in Nicaragua on Monday when the vehicle skidded off the road and plunged 165 feet down a ravine, according to local reports via the New York Post. Sarah Rumpf-Whitten is a writer on the breaking news team for Fox News Digital. You can reach her on Twitter at @s_rumpfwhitten.
While all passengers survived the initial terrifying drop, the bus landed in a coffee plantation field that was home to a number of disturbed – and angry – killer Africanized bees.
The passengers were stung repeatedly by the angry insects, and victims' bodies were covered head to toe with hundreds of angry red bite marks.
