Escaped snakes cause multiple car crash

A motorist who caused a multiple car crash has blamed the incident on two snakes escaping from his trouser pocket.

Angel Rolon claimed he lost control of his sports utility vehicle when the baby reptiles slithered over the accelerator and brake pedals. The 20-year-old's vehicle was then seen swerving as he tried to catch the creatures.

His SUV crashed into some parked cars and overturned in a street in Hartford, Connecticut.



Hartford police sergeant Christene Mertes said Mr Rolon was taken to hospital with minor injuries.

She said officers later recovered the snakes from the car.

Mr Rolon, from New Britain, was charged with reckless driving and driving without a licence.
