Massive Cobra Rescued after Getting Trapped Under Truck Tyre in Odisha
The incident occurred when the driver of the truck suddenly felt resistance and stopped near the roadside to check the vehicle
Bhubaneswar: A large cobra was saved after it was found trapped under the tyre of a dumper truck, in Bonai, Sundargarh district of Odisha, near National Highway 143. It was stated that the driver suddenly felt resistance and stopped the vehicle on the roadside to check the reason. He discovered a cobra partially stuck beneath one of the tyres.
Local members of the Snake Helpline were alerted. Upon arrival, the rescuers determined that the snake had likely slithered into the chassis area and become entangled, rendering it unable to escape.
Despite repeated efforts, the distressed cobra remained tightly coiled. After hours of careful handling and the use of specialised equipment, the team managed to free the snake without causing it any harm. The cobra was later released safely into a nearby forest, away from human settlements.
