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.
