Snake Appears from Behind Steering Wheel on Highway, Shocking Driver

A snake suddenly popped out from behind the steering wheel—even as I was preparing this report, I was shocked when I saw the photo.

A disturbance occurred after a snake suddenly appeared in a rental car driving on a highway, prompting a response from the fire authorities.

At around 6:30 p.m. on October 31, the driver was traveling in a rental car near the Yangjae IC on the southbound Gyeongbu Expressway.

Suddenly, the head of a snake emerged from between the steering wheel and the instrument panel.

Shocked, the driver quickly pulled the car over to the shoulder and called the fire department.

Fire authorities who arrived at the scene captured the snake from the car and euthanized it, wrapping up the operation and withdrawing 40 minutes after the report was received.

Fortunately, it was reported that the driver was not bitten by the snake or injured.
