Woman has her car invaded by a snake and considers setting it on fire to solve the problem

extra3 September 2026 at 13:46

Stephanie Watson, from Riverton (Utah, USA), lived a moment of panic on Monday afternoon while waiting in line at a bank's drive-thru. A woman who was in the car in front started gesturing toward the ground, and Stephanie soon realized that a snake was crawling under her vehicle, near the front fender. The serpent ended up disappearing inside the car.

The snake in question was a bull snake nearly 1 meter in length. When asking if she had run over the animal, the other driver clarified that the serpent had simply crawled under Stephanie's car. The driver's nightmare was even greater due to her absolute fear of snakes, which she publicly confessed: "For me, anything that crawls and has no legs is the devil."

In a moment of despair and panic, Stephanie considered a radical solution to the problem: setting her own vehicle on fire. The case was reported to the Cowboy State Daily newspaper, which reported on the unusual incident that turned a simple trip to the bank into a traumatic experience for the driver.
