Virginia Traffic Disrupted by Snake-Related Power Outage

A large snake caused a power outage at an intersection in Prince William County, Virginia, after flipping a breaker switch in an electrical panel. The snake was safely removed by a police officer and an animal control officer and released unharmed. It's believed that the snake had been living in the box for a while due to molten skin found inside. Drivers were advised to treat the intersection like a stop sign when traffic signals aren't working due to a power outage.
