Tiger Snake in Car on Freeway | Canberra News

A woman cruising down Melbourne’s Monash Freeway had a heart-stopping encounter when a venomous tiger snake slithered up her leg—chilling under her steering wheel. Barefoot and shaken, she pulled over and flagged down help. Police called it a “bizarre welfare check,” and paramedics confirmed no bites, though she was in shock. Enter snake catcher Tim Nanninga, who pulled off a high-speed rescue on the freeway—his first ever on such a busy road. The snake, likely hitched a ride from southwest Victoria, was safely removed, treated, and released. A chilling reminder: even in the city, nature’s most dangerous residents can show up—when you least expect it. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
