A “scary” ‘biblical’ plague of frogs, toads and tadpoles has reportedly wreaked havoc on a village and caused a multi-car pile-up.
Heavy rains that fell on the area caused drains to overflow and puddles of stagnant water to form.
The outbreak began on 3 December when the amphibians emerged from the pools and took over the area.
They caused issues for at least three days, say locals, who filmed them swarming in streets, houses and gardens in extreme numbers.
One local man who caught the apocalyptic scenes on camera said: “This scares me.
“It looks more like the plagues of Egypt.”
The slime left behind by the amphibians reportedly caused people to hurt themselves as they slipped and fell.
And an accident happened when the slime on an amphibian-infested main road caused a pick-up truck to skid uncontrollably.
It caused a pile-up involving at least five vehicles including two lorries, a tanker and a motorbike that was burnt to a crisp.
Several people were injured and had to be taken from the scene in Choloma, Honduras, to a hospital in San Pedro Sula on 4 December.
Fortunately, there were no fatalities but the road was completely blocked, causing long tailbacks and even prompting an investigation by traffic officials.
The second plague of Egypt, as described in the Book of Exodus, was a plague of frogs.
According to the account, Moses, at the command of God, brought forth a multitude of frogs from the Nile that covered the land of Egypt for three days.
The plague was a consequence of Pharaoh’s refusal to let the Israelites go and worship their God.
The purpose of the plagues was to demonstrate the power of the God of Israel and to persuade Pharaoh to release the Israelites from slavery.
