Car crash stirs up bee swarm

Car crash stirs up bee swarm :

"A teenage driver in the US crashed a four-wheel drive into a hollow tree and stirred up tens of thousands of angry honey bees, creating a swarm that sent her and nine others to the hospital."

Teenagers crashing into trees are ususally dead, but this one stirred up millions of bees and landed herself and her helpers in hospital. That she is alive is something to be thankful for. As one of the policemen said, you can't actually train to deal with something like that. That the paramedics and police got that little lot under control is a real tribute to their on the spot thinking and their capacity to think laterally. What a crazy situation.
