A man driving along a busy town road last Tuesday morning
suddenly realized he had a dangerous uninvited passenger in the
car with him. It was a cobra snake that twisted itself around the
steering wheel and his hands, tying the man into the car.
(2)The cobra, a raretype of snake indigenous to the Kingdom, would
not let him go and threatened to bite him if he moved. The driver
stopped the car in the middle of the road and waited for someone
to stop and ask what he was doing.
(3)A large crowd gathered in the street to stare at the unfortunate
man, with no one daring to open the car doors. Al-Bilad newspaper
reported that eventually a brave man opened a door and grabbed
the cobra by the head. The cobra put up great resistance. Itwas
then killed. The driver rushed from his car and refused to get back
in again, screaming about more snakes under his seat. None were
found however
