Salvador González, 65, died last night in Colonia Popotlán 2, Apopa, due to the multiple bee stings he suffered. Meanwhile, another 60 people were affected.
Comandos de Salvamento arrived at the soccer field in Colonia Popotlán 2, where the incident occurred, after a metal post where the bees were nesting was struck by a ball, causing them to sting the people who were at the site.
The rescuers provided first aid to the affected people; some were transferred to the Emergency Care Center, CAE, in Apopa.
A seven-year-old minor had to be admitted on an emergency basis to Hospital Zacamil by a Comandos de Salvamento ambulance due to the severity of the bee stings.
Comandos de Salvamento, Cuerpo de Bomberos de El Salvador, and members of the Risk Management Office of the Apopa Mayor’s Office coordinated the situation.
