Is there a Homer Simpson joke here? or just a tragedy?
South African woman killed by bee swarm Reuters.co.uk
A South African woman was killed by hundreds of thousands of enraged bees after her vehicle hit an electricity substation that contained their hive, an emergency services group said on Tuesday. “The car crashed into an electrical substation in Johannesburg which housed a bee hive. It was 10 years old and had in excess of a million bees and they just went wild,” said Paul Nel, spokesman for Netcare 911, a private paramedic and ambulance service. “The people managed to stumble out of the car but they were just overcome by bees,” he said. The incident occurred on Monday. He said the woman died at the scene while her husband was recovering in hospital.
