Nov. 13 (UPI) -- A snake handler was called to a BMW dealership in India to remove a cobra that climbed into the engine compartment of a car.

The car owner said he thought he had run over a cobra during his drive to Madurai, Tamil Nadu, and he soon discovered the snake had somehow grabbed hold of the underside of the car and climbed into its inner workings.

The man sought help from firefighters, but he ended up taking the vehicle to a BMW dealership when they were unable to locate the snake.

A professional reptile handler from the Save Our Snakes organization was called to the dealership and was able to locate and remove the cobra from the engine compartment.
