A ‘biblical’ plague of toads, frogs and tadpoles wreaked havoc in a Honduras city, even causing a multi-car pile-up.

The amphibians took over the streets and homes of Choloma after heavy rain fell in the area, causing drains to overflow and puddles to form.

The outbreak started on December 3 and, according to locals, continued for at least three days.

At one point, a pick-up truck lost control on the slime left behind and caused a pile-up involving at least five vehicles, including a tanker, two lorries and a motorbike that was left burnt to a crisp.

There were no fatalities, but the road was blocked for some time, causing a long tailback, said residents.

Some of the people caught up in the crash had to be taken to hospital in the nearby city of San Pedro Sula.

Several people filmed the creatures swarming the area, including one man who said: ‘This scares me. It looks more like the plagues of Egypt.’

A ???scary??? 'biblical' plague of frogs, toads and tadpoles has reportedly wreaked havoc on a village and caused a multi-car pile-up.

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.

The second plague of Egypt, as described in the Book of Exodus, was a plague of frogs.

One resident said the invasion looked like the Biblical ‘plagues of Egypt’ (Picture: Jam Press)

Earlier this month, another ‘biblical’ plague, this time of locusts, hit Yucatán in Mexico.

Miles-long clouds of the bugs blanketed the skies, flying through shopping plazas, smacking into the windows of apartment complexes and gobbling up anything green in local parks.

In the Book of Exodus, locusts were the eighth of the 10 plagues sent to carpet Egypt.
