BANGOR, Maine, Oct. 6 (UPI) -- A Maine man trying to shoo a tiny spider out of his SUV ended up crashing and destroying his huge Lincoln Navigator.

James Lee, 28, was on his way to work in the town of Levant near Bangor, Maine, when he discovered he was sharing his SUV with a spider, the Bangor Daily News reports. While trying to eject the unwanted visitor, Lee lost control of the vehicle, left the road and hit a tree.

A spokesman for the Penobscot County Sheriff's office tells the Daily News the SUV was demolished but Lee walked away with just a bloody nose and scratches because his airbag deployed.

Even though he lost the Lincoln, the newspaper says Lee won't have to worry about transportation because last month he was one of 11 people from across the country to win a Volvo XC90 from McDonald's.
