When driving a car, you need to be extremely vigilant. One must not forget the principle of limited trust either. You always have to consider the least expected and sometimes outright bizarre scenarios on the road. After all, we can't be sure if the oncoming driver is sober or if someone might suddenly become unwell and veer into our path. Preparing for anything that comes to mind is advisable because absolutely anything can happen on the road.

Some roads cross through animal habitats, requiring extra attention. When driving near forests, one should know that such incidents can occur.

The necessity of being extremely cautious on the road was underscored by a seven-person family on the outskirts of Culiacan, in the state of Sinaloa, in western Mexico. The tragic accident occurred when a huge crocodile suddenly appeared on their route. The driver collided with the reptile, causing the car to skid. Unfortunately, three people died at the scene, and three were taken to the hospital, including one child.

The emergency services working at the accident site reported that three individuals died from injuries obtained after crashing into a tree. The crocodile, which unexpectedly appeared on the road, also perished in the collision with the car. The three surviving passengers were promptly transported by car to the hospital. Currently, no information has been provided on their health status.
