A family of seven was travelling by car when suddenly, a huge crocodile over 2 metres long appeared on the road. The accident resulted in three fatalities.

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.
