While driving in her car, a woman in Fayetteville, Arkansas was making a simple trip to the store when she was suddenly caught off guard by a four foot long snake falling out of her dashboard. Kelly Swisher was traveling along Interstate 49 when she felt the rat snake drop next her feet.

Swisher told WHNT news, "As soon as it landed on my feet, I felt it. It was rough and scaly. As it slithered across my feet, it was a nails-on-a-chalkboard kind of thing." In her frazzled state, Swisher recalled, "I do not know if I had my hands on the steering wheel or not. I am not the most flexible person in the world but I can guarantee my knees were up next to my ears."

When Swisher gathered her senses, she immediately pulled into a shopping center to call 911 just as the snake disappeared back into the hood of the car. Unable to remove the snake at the time, she got back behind the wheel in the hopes that the snake would not drop out next to her feet again.

Much to Swisher's dismay, the rat snake returned as she began driving and this time made its into the backseat of the car. Eventually, the Washington County Sheriff's department reported the incident to animal control who then was able to take control of the situation and retrieve the reptile.

Luckily, Swisher was uninjured in the peculiar ordeal and she is just glad the snake situation was taken care of by the authorities. Swisher stated she believes, "God had his hand on me. He protected me. He protected my car."

What would you do if you were in Swisher's situation and a four foot rat snake fell out of your dashboard while driving?
