Snake hitches ride on car - VIDEO

A snake takes a family in the US by surprise after it appeared on the bonnet of their car as they drove along a busy highway.

Rachel and Tony Fisher were travelling with their young son in the back seat when the snake suddenly slithered out from a windscreen wiper vent.

The horrified couple continued to drive as the creature climbed first to the right before turning back across the driver's side and eventually climbing off the speeding vehicle via the wing mirror.

The family believe the snake may have been resting inside the car's engine before it was disturbed.

Footage of the incident has been watched more than 150,000 times online since it was uploaded last week.
