It was about 2 in the morning when Claudilio Cruz, a member of a road crew spreading asphalt on U.S. 1 in the affluent Miami suburb of Pinecrest, heard frantic honking. When he looked up he was blinded at first by headlights, but then noticed something, frankly, unbelievable: A 14-foot Burmese python slowly slithering across the six-lane highway. Another car almost ran the snake over. Cruz managed to stop traffic — for the safety of both the late-night drivers and the snake. This was... Read More
