A woman who crashed her car into a fire station did so with a python wrapped around her neck.
Sarah Espinosa, 22, lost control of her 2010 Toyota Prius around 7 p.m. on Monday night while driving on Jericho Turnpike in New York, police said.
Firefighters who rushed to help the woman who crashed into their station and slammed into two firetrucks were surprised to find a python wrapped around her neck.
They were even more surprised to find that the small ball python was reported stolen from a nearby pet store.
"Third Precinct officers responded and determined Espinosa had stolen the snake from [a Garden City] PETCO," according to the report, which also stated that Espinosa was in possession of marijuana at the time of the accident. The snake is sold at Petco for $89, a store employee said.
Espinosa was treated and released from a hospital, and the snake was returned to its home at the store, police said.
Espinosa has been charged with reckless endangerment, petit larceny, reckless driving, driving while intoxicated, and unlawful possession of marijuana.
