A driver in Victoria had a close call with a dangerous tiger snake while driving barefoot. The incident occurred on the Monash Freeway in Melbourne yesterday, causing quite a stir. The woman was able to fend off the venomous snake while maneuvering through traffic before pulling over in an emergency lane.
Police were notified and quickly responded to the scene near the Toorak Road exit. Reports had come in that a barefoot woman was trying to flag down passing cars. According to authorities, the woman shared that she was driving at a speed of 80km/h when she suddenly felt something on her foot. To her horror, she saw a tiger snake making its way up her leg.
Thankfully, the woman was unharmed, and paramedics were called to the scene to assess her for any potential snake bites. The situation was further diffused when Tim, from Melbourne Snake Control, came to the rescue. He was able to quickly identify the tiger snake and offered his assistance.
As the massive snake was being safely removed from the vehicle, passing motorists couldn't believe what they were witnessing. It was certainly not your typical day on the freeway. "And so ended one of the more bizarre welfare checks you'll ever hear about," stated the police in a statement.
