Woman terrified after spotting huge spider centimetres from face while driving

An Aussie woman has gone viral online after she filmed the giant hairy spider that had made its way into her car.

Bianca Merrick from Coffs Harbour in NSW was on her way home when she discovered the spider right above her head.

"I live in the bush near Coffs Harbour so [spiders aren't] too uncommon but they’re usually on the outside of the car not the inside," she told Yahoo7.

"I was on my way home from work when I looked up and saw it staring at me.

"I considered stopping but I didn’t know how I’d get it out of the car so I thought the best option for me was to keep driving and pretend it wasn’t there for the longest 20 minutes of my life."

When Bianca arrived home she "slowly got out of the car, locked the door and went to sleep".

"I tried to pretend that it never happened. I checked the car [the next day], armed with Mortein and a broom but there was no spider to be found."

Bianca’s video was posted on Brown Cardigan and has been viewed over 391,000 times.
