Mamba on the move came to a slithering stop...
Why did the mamba cross the road?

As seen in the video above, the snake was in "an incredible amount of pain" as the car drove over it.
"It was absolutely terrified, as there were humans all around it, and one approaching it," Nick Evans mentioned.
Nick was able to secure the injured mamba quickly by placing its head in his hand. He further found that there was blood in its mouth and nose.
Nick made the decision that he was going to take it back with him and nurse it back to health. He said that it seemed strong a few hours after the incident.
