The operator panicked and crashed suffering a leg injury.”“Lives depend on it,” the police said.
The post drew laughs and sympathetic comments from Facebook users who also shared their fear of spiders. “For safety measures should probably burn the car too. Just to make sure it’s really dead,” Amanda Storm wrote. “I'm so glad the driver is OK and I'm not laughing at her...per se,” Sharyn Daley Zackery wrote. “Just that....LMAO...I would have crashed, while ripping off my shirt, while steady trying to swat at the MOFO the whole time.
