It happened on the New York Creek trail behind Fairchild Village. Many wasp Colonies have been reported in that area.

The woman and her children are OK, but the mother received hundreds of stings.

As the wasps swarmed the family, the woman ran to get help and told her kids to run the opposite way so they wouldn't get stung.
