Turkey, September 28: More than 20 people have been taken to hospital in Turkey after a van carrying bee hives hit a truck, angering the bees who attacked crash victims and rescuers.
Six people were injured in the crash near the south-western Mediterranean resort of Marmaris and around 20 others, including medics and police, were taken to hospital with bee stings.
Professional beekeepers had to be called in to help evacuate the victims, some of whom had to wait for more than an hour to be extracted from among the mangled hives.
One of the six crash victims, an 18-year-old man, later died in hospital, but the cause of death was not yet clear, local governor Ahmet Altiparmak said.
