A plague reminiscent of biblical proportions, featuring toads, frogs, and tadpoles, wreaked havoc in a Honduran city, leading to a multi-car pile-up.

The amphibians infiltrated the streets and homes of Choloma following heavy rainfall, causing drains to overflow and puddles to emerge.

The infestation commenced on December 3 and persisted for at least three days, according to local accounts.

At one juncture, a pick-up truck skidded on the slime-coated surface, triggering a pile-up involving at least five vehicles, including a tanker, two lorries, and a motorcycle that was left charred, Metro reported.

Fortunately, there were no fatalities, but the road remained blocked for an extended period, causing significant traffic congestion, as reported by residents.

Some individuals captured footage of the creatures swarming the area, with one man expressing his apprehension: “This scares me. It looks more like the plagues of Egypt.”

Drawing parallels to the Book of Exodus, the second plague in Egypt involved frogs. In the same biblical account, locusts were the eighth of the ten plagues unleashed upon Egypt.
