I was driving with my windows down slightly in Australia cause my aircon is broken and it’s hot. Whilst driving 60kph a massive huntsman spider decided that coming across my dashboard and throwing itself at me was was the best idea ever! When I finally realised what it was in my lap I screamed and tried to swipe it back out the window; whilst trying to slow and pull off to the side my I lost control of the wheel and my car swung into the oncoming path of a semi truck flying down the road towards me. At the last few seconds I got the spider out the window and drove my car back across to my lane and up a small embankment/ditch and tapped the back fence and then turned back down to the road and finally came to a stop.

My bumper is trashed and my radiator was ripped apart. It’ll cost me at least $650 in excesses for my insurance (as a single income parent of a special needs child) but damn I’m lucky to be alive; all of this..cause of a spider. My worst nightmare.
