[WATCH] Australian Man Fights Off Deadly Snake While Driving On Highway
When a Police officer pulled over a pickup truck on an Australian highway, he didn’t expect to find one of the world’s deadliest snakes inside.
The driver, a 27-year-old man was heading down a Highway in Queensland at 100 kms per hour when he noticed a reptile in the vehicle.
It was an eastern brown snake — highly venomous, and responsible for the majority of snakebite deaths in Australia.
So the man killed the snake, hit the accelerator and headed for the nearest hospital. That’s when a police officer spotted his car, driving at 123 kms per hour and pulled him over.
The officer saw the dead snake lying in the back of the truck and called for help. When paramedics arrived, they determined Jimmy had not been bitten, but was suffering from shock.
“It was pretty terrifying, I’ve never been so happy to see red and blue lights,” Jimmy said in the video.
