A Texas woman was mowing her lawn when a snake and a hawk attacked her from the sky. “Jesus, please help me.”
Rosie's father swung the snake about five times before jumping to his daughter's rescue and grabbing it, causing Maxibon to let go and sprinting away.
Looking more nervous than his preteen daughter, Rosie's father, Luke Wightman, tiptoed towards the snake, hesitantly picked it up and threw it over the fence.
