A video of a snake slithering across the windshield of a moving SUV in Tennessee has become an Internet sensation in the short time its been posted on YouTube.
The video was filmed by a Collierville family who were reportedly driving at 65 mph down Sam Cooper Boulevard when the serpent crawled out of his hiding place under the hood of the car onto the windshield.
Rachel and Tony Fisher were traveling down the highway with their children in Memphis, Tennessee when the frightening incident happened. Rachel said in the video description that "her husband caught something out of the corner of this eye...a snake head coming out from under our hood onto our windshield."
Tony grabbed his cell phone camera and began filming the confused reptile as it made its way across the windshield of the vehicle. He can be heard saying that it looked like a water moccasin. "A huge water moccasin," he said.
The Fisher's said they had parked their vehicle in a wooded area the night before. They think the snake crawled up into the engine area of the SUV and then came out when the engine began to heat up.
Action 5 News' Anna Marie Hartman reported the snake was a non-poisonous rat snake.
Next time ... try pulling over for a few minutes to let the creature go on its way.
