Virginia Intersection Paralyzed by Snake's Power Outage

A large snake caused a power outage and stopped traffic at an intersection in Prince William County, Virginia, after flipping a breaker switch inside an electrical panel. A police officer and an animal control officer safely removed the snake from the panel and released it unharmed in the area. The snake had been living in the box for a while due to molten skin found inside. When traffic signals aren't working because of a power outage, police say to treat intersections like stop signs.
