Shocking Moment: Snake hitched a ride on a Monroe County woman's vehicle
SUMMARY: Good evening, I’m Craig Ford. Emily Leonard has the evening off. Thanks for joining us for WTV 9 News at 6. A woman in Monroe County encountered an unexpected visitor during her morning commute. Jennifer Adams found a large snake hitching a ride on her car on Smithville Road near Hatley. Initially mistaking it for a man on a horse, Adams was horrified to realize it was a snake emerging from under her hood. She believes the snake was trying to reach a bird’s nest using her SUV for height leverage. The snake, likely a nonvenomous rat snake, eventually fell off her car. Reporting live, Jake White, WTV 9 News.
