**Driver’s Shocking Encounter with Snake on Australian Motorway**

A woman had a terrifying experience when a venomous snake slithered up her leg while driving on a motorway in Melbourne.


A welfare check led police to the scene, where the driver was in shock after her close encounter with a tiger snake, one of the world's most dangerous reptiles.

A driver in Melbourne experienced a startling encounter when she discovered a tiger snake inside her vehicle on the Monash Freeway. According to reports from Victoria Police, the player was driving at a speed of 80km/h (50mph) when she felt something unusual on her foot, prompting her to look down. To her horror, she found the long, venomous creature slithering up her leg.

In a panic, she managed to pull over, leaving one of her shoes behind, and leaped from the vehicle to escape the snake. Authorities were alerted to the situation when the woman started flagging down passing vehicles, clearly distressed and "acting hiss-terically," as described by the police. Officers responded quickly to conduct a welfare check and assess the situation.

Melbourne Snake Control was then called in to retrieve the snake, which is identified as a tiger snake - known for its potent venom and aggressive behavior. The snake was safely extracted from the car, providing a dramatic spectacle for other motorists who witnessed the event. Many were left astonished and began recording as officers managed the situation.

Following her frightening ordeal, the driver was transported to a hospital for potential treatment of a snake bite but is reported to be recovering well. Tim Nanninga from Melbourne Snake Control confirmed that after securing the snake, he relocated it far away from populated areas to ensure the safety of local residents and their pets.

This alarming incident highlights the presence of dangerously venomous snakes in Australia's coastal regions. It serves as a stark reminder for motorists to remain vigilant to avoid similar encounters on the road.
