Tien päällä olleen pariskunnan automatka sai taannoin odottamattoman käänteen. Kesken ajon auton konepellin alta luikerteli esiin vihreä matelija.

Australialainen Kerry Jenkins oli matkustamassa puolisonsa ja lapsensa kanssa kotiin Uuden Etelä-Walesin Forsteriin. Kesken matkan konepellin päälle ilmestyi käärme. Kerryn ikuistamalla videolla matelija heiluu villisti auton vauhdin mukana.

Kerry on videolla huolestunut, sillä hän pelkää käärmeen olevan myrkyllinen. Puoliso puolestaan epäilee kyseessä olevan harmiton matelija. Hämmennystä herättää myös käärmeen pituus.

Kerry kertoi myöhemmin TikTokissa pariskunnan pysäyttäneen auton ja nähneen käärmeen luikerrelleen auton alaosaan. Käärme löytyi seuraavana päivänä konepellin alta.

@kerryjenkins32 We were on holidays at Darlington Beach, 30kms north of Coffs Harbour, travelling home to Forster. We had been on the road for 250ks, 30ks from home on the Pacific Highway, when we noticed a little yellow head. I grabbed the phone & started recording. We didn't know what to do! We assumed it would just fly off, & didn't think it would have held on for so long. We knew the turn off wasn't far away, & wanted to be safe off the highway before we pulled over. Once we pulled over we could see it was still hanging onto to the front grill. It slid onto the ground & then back up into the under motor. A fellow helped us look, with no success. You can see in 2nd video. We continued to drive home, and looked again on and off over the next few hours. With a torch we ended up seeing him, and my son tried to catch him and get him out and he darted back into the motor. Again unsuccessful. We waited overnight and I've looked again in the morning and found nothing. I would have assumed he got out and escaped. 4.13pm today 5th Dec 2022 my partner just popped the bonnet (unfortunately without videoing) and he was sitting on top of the motor, my partner dropped the bonnet afraid (massive snake phobia) I opened it back up and we could see his tail sliding back into a crevice. #windscreenviper #treesnake #ridealong #burnthecar #stuckinmycar #snakesoftiktok #hitchhiker #snake ♬ original sound – Kerry Jenkins
