Two Christian missionaries driving on Interstate 430 had quite a scare Friday morning when they discovered a three-foot snake inside their truck. A venomous pine rattler landed on their windshield, then slithered under the truck and ended up inside the pickup's cab. This all happened as they drove 65 miles per hour.
Two unidentified men, traveling from Russellville to Malvern early Friday morning, called Arkansas Urban Wildlife Control after the snake landed on their windshield, disappeared, then made its way through the truck.
Mike Wright, president of Arkansas Urban Wildlife Control, said the snake then reappeared inside the cab, under the dashboard.
The driver and his elderly father abandoned the vehicle near the interchange for Interstates 30 and 430, about six miles after the snake first appeared.
Wright and his coworkers spent three and a half hours dismantling the pickup's dashboard. The five inch in diameter snake was removed unharmed and later released into the wild.
