'Where is It?': Driver Screams as Spider Crawls on Steering Wheel

Liang-zi Carr got an eight-legged surprise while driving on the Gold Coast, Australia, when a spider crawled onto the steering wheel mid-trip.

“Oh God, it’s coming towards me!” Carr is heard saying in this video, which captured the incident.

“Just pull over! Just pull over! Just pull over!” Aaron Butler, who was behind the camera, can be heard saying in response.

Butler told Storyful the pair were driving along when they noticed what looked to be a huntsman spider on the steering wheel.

“I started filming because I thought it was funny and as soon as I started recording, it moved towards the steering wheel. The real panic was when it jumped onto the steering wheel,” he said.

In the video, which was posted to Instagram on August 6, the spider can be seen travelling from the steering wheel to the driver-side door. Butler told Storyful that Carr was able to stop the car and open the door so the spider could jump out, ensuring “no animals or humans were harmed.” Credit: Aaron Butler via Storyful
