Summary:

Police blamed a loose python for a one-car accident that injured the snake’s “owner” and friend. The 10-ft-long “pet” python was napping in the back seat of its “owner’s” car when it awoke and slithered into the front seat. In an attempt to remove the snake, the woman drove into the median causing her car to flip. The snake was caught and given to the woman’s father.
