- A Queensland bus driver rescues a snake from a busy road
- In footage shared online the man picks up the snake with his bare hands
A lost snake which found itself on a busy road has been bravely rescued by a bus driver who carried it out of the way of oncoming traffic with his bare hands.
The snake appeared on a main road at Tugun on the Gold Coast, stunning onlookers when a bus driver stopped and hopped out of the vehicle.
In a video shot by an onlooker caught in traffic, the uniformed driver is seen walking over to the snake and boldly picking it up by the tail.
He then carries it to the side of the road as the reptile tries to strike him a couple of times.
Each time the driver nonchalantly moves out of the way of danger.

The driver then carefully lays his slithery obstacle down on a patch of grass next to a footpath and local shops before he walks away to resume his route.
A man on the footpath is also seen looking on in complete disbelief as to what he’d just witnessed.
The driver gestured to the road and appears to tell the onlooker he had just taken it out of the way of traffic, before he returned to the bus and continued on his way.
Social media users labelled the bus driver’s actions ‘typical’ of a Queenslander.
‘Tell me you live Queensland without telling me you live in Queensland,’ one person said.
‘Haha he just dumps it near the shops and footpath, love it,’ another wrote.
