Thousands have watched “Snake on a Car” posted to YouTube July 17, and for good reason.

Rachel and Tony Fisher told WMC-TV in Memphis the snake emerged from under the hood of their SUV while they were doing about 65 mph.

On YouTube: “We were driving 65 mph down a highway when my husband caught something out of the corner of this eye…a snakehead coming out from under our hood onto our windshield! Watch what happens after that…”

Rachel said there was nothign for the snake to take hold of, so it fell off the car when it tried to slide down a door. They think it curled up under the hood while the car was parked int a wooded area the night before.
