According to them, the snake raised itself aggressively toward them, causing panic and fear. The Fire Service was immediately called, and firefighters rushed to the scene and carefully managed to free the reptile without anyone being injured.

The snake was released back into its natural environment, while the car was taken to a workshop for inspection and necessary repairs.
