Snake crawls up on man's windshield mid-drive because nightmares are real

Nope!

We're all familiar with Snakes on a Plane, but get ready for snake (singular) on a car.

An Australian driver was surprised by a deadly snake on their windshield while driving recently. The snake, a venomous Eastern brown, had been hiding under the bonnet but came out mid-drive.

Photos uploaded to Facebook by the snake-catching service The Snake Catcher 24/7 show the slithery fare-dodger.

"We are currently on our way to a call to get a large Eastern Brown snake out from under a guys bonnet," The Snake Catcher wrote. "The big Brown snake came out onto the windscreen whilst he was driving. HECTIC."

"Hectic" is one way to put it. Try "horrifying".
