According to the police on Sunday, the woman was driving on the Monash Freeway in the state of Victoria near the metropolis of Melbourne at a speed of around 80 kilometers per hour when she suddenly felt something on her foot. She then saw a deadly tiger viper wriggling up her leg.
According to the police, the woman "remarkably" managed to shake off the snake while still driving, pull over to the hard shoulder and jump out of the car to safety. The woman was then found barefoot and in shock by police officers. Paramedics then examined her to make sure she had not been bitten. A snake catcher also removed the "huge" snake from the car.
According to the conservation authority of the state of Victoria, tiger otters are among the most venomous snakes in the world. The snakes are around one meter long and react to danger by rearing their body and putting their neck and head up. The vipers get their name from the stripes on their skin.
