南非一家提供急救服务的私人机构11月8日称,上百万只“怒不可遏”的蜜蜂7日将该国一名妇女活活蜇死,原因是这名妇女在驾车行驶时不慎撞上了一个变电站,而它们的蜂巢恰好就“坐落”在那里。
据路透社11月8日报道,一家名叫“网络护理911”的救护机构的发言人保罗·奈尔说:“这辆汽车高速撞进了那个蜂巢所在的变电站,而蜂巢已经在变电站里存在了10年且居住着上百万只蜜蜂,面对突如其来的事故,蜜蜂们变得十分狂野。被困在车里的人们曾试图逃出来,但他们最终还是没有斗过这群蜜蜂。”
按奈尔的说法,事发后,这名妇女是当场被上百万只蜜蜂活活蛰死的,而她的丈夫则在被送到医院接受治疗后脱离了危险。
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.
