Arachnophobic? Then this story is definitely not for you. A Portland, Oregon woman got in a serious car wreck caused by an itsy bitsy spider.
The driver was not seriously injured. The spider came down from the rearview mirror and sent the woman into a panic, causing the car to go off the road and flip in Northwest Portland’s Bonny Slope area.

So, drivers, check those rearviews extra well the next time you hit the open road.
