A Georgia woman’s KIA van ended up at the bottom of a river over the weekend after a spider crawled onto her lap, authorities said.
The unidentified woman claimed the eight-legged crawler was such a fright that she ran out of the van, allowing it to roll into the river, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported, citing Georgia State Troopers. Police said by the time officers arrived at the scene the van had disappeared from view.

“She stated that it floated downstream a few feet,” a state trooper told the paper. “And within seconds, it was totally submerged. A passerby in a boat attempted to locate the van, but without success.”
The woman said she was trying to back the van down a boat launch so she could slide her kayak into the river when she spotted the spider, according to police.
