    Posted in Melbourne suburban » Massive spider claims six seats for itself on busy melbourne train

    Just recently a Huntsman spider is being quoted as the cause of a 4 car pile up at Blaxland, NSW that blocked the Great Western Highway for over an hour.

    From what I read of the report, its claimed the spider dropped from the headlining onto the Driver causing the person to loose control of the car.
    I must say I had one appear from behind the Sun Visor one day and my old Valiant Station Wagon never stopped so quickly or was evacuated by myself, Wife and 3 kids in seconds as it was that day.
