Early this morning, just past midnight, a large box truck rear-ended an RV – filled with more than two dozen snakes – heading from South Carolina to Pennsylvania on Interstate 95 in Wilson County, according to a report by WRAL News, which covers the Raleigh, Durham and Fayetteville markets in North Carolina.
Inside the RV were five people, 28 snakes, two tortoises, five Bearded Dragons, two dogs and one cat.
“In 19 years, I’ve never seen anything like this,” a North Carolina State Highway Patrol trooper told WRAL News.
At least one of the snakes was a small, highly venomous viper, which became loose in the RV during the crash. The owner was able to catch the snake prior to EMS workers arriving.
No one in the RV was hurt; all of the animals survived.
