Connecticut driver spots snake in car while driving, police say
LEDYARD — A Connecticut State Trooper snagged a snake from a car after the driver saw the slithering serpent while driving in Ledyard Tuesday, police said.
The woman was driving on Route 2 near Foxwoods Resort Casino when she noticed the snake and called for help, police said. Trooper First Class Charles Workman responded.
“TFC Workman was able to wrangle the unwanted hitchhiker from the caller’s car despite the slippery nature of the accused,” Troop E in Montville posted on Facebook.
The snake’s species could not be determined, but police said there were no injuries in the incident. Troop E’s Facebook post, however, drew comments from people who said they would have wrecked the car after such a discovery.
“Here I was thinking I only needed to check for spiders…,” one person wrote.
