A shocking video from Namakkal-Salem Road in Tamil Nadu has gone viral, showing a terrifying encounter between a driver and an unexpected passenger, a snake. The driver was left stunned after spotting the reptile slithering beneath his car’s side mirror while driving.
In the video, the snake can be seen hanging from the mirror, appearing to be tightly entangled. Despite repeated attempts to free itself, the snake remains stuck, writhing as the car continues moving. The situation looks extremely dangerous for both the driver and others in the vehicle, as the car keeps moving while the snake dangles from the side. It is still unclear how or when the snake was eventually removed.
⚠️ Safety Alert for Drivers!
