What the fox! Driver finds wild animal trapped in his car
A motorist has shared the startling moment a fox got trapped in the front grill of his car, after he accidentally hit the wild animal while travelling at 80km/h.
While driving down a country road in South Australia on Saturday night, the man behind the wheel said he was shocked when he felt something slam into the car.
When he later checked the vehicle, he was astonished to find the angry fox trying to break free from behind the front grill of the car.
“Y’all thought you had a bad day,” he can be heard saying while filming the animal furiously biting the front grill in an attempt to escape.
In a series of videos posted to TikTok, the man documented the fox's attempts at escape, before informing his followers that he had enlisted the help of a local vet to help free the animal.
“Took him to the vet, they sedated him and we got him out safely, the poor guy,” he said, adding he was glad — and impressed — the fox was alive after such a high-speed impact.
Throughout his videos, many took to the comments to offer their advice to free the fox, as one person suggested "popping the lid", with the driver explaining that he did but “couldn’t even see him through the bonnet”.
The saga has been viewed more than 400,000 times in the past 24 hours, with numerous people saying they were stunned the fox wasn’t seriously injured. “How does this even happen?” one person wondered.
“What in the fox is going on here!” another joked, while others pondered how the man would explain the incident to his insurance company.
“Insurance would never believe you if you didn’t have that video,” someone else added.
