Australian Driver Escapes Venomous Tiger Snake Encounter on Busy Freeway

A woman safely pulled over after discovering a deadly tiger snake slithering up her leg while driving at 80 km/h near Melbourne.

The driver was traveling on the Monash Freeway when she felt the snake on her leg and managed to fend it off while weaving through traffic.
Victoria Police were called after the barefoot woman flagged down passing vehicles in a state of shock near the Toorak Road exit.
Melbourne Snake Control safely removed the tiger snake from the car and released it into a remote area away from people and pets.
Paramedics assessed the woman, confirming she had not been bitten, and transported her to a hospital for observation where she was reported to be stable.
Experts noted that recent tropical weather in Melbourne may have driven snakes like the highly venomous tiger snake into unusual settings.
