When tarantulas are on the move, it’s best to use caution. That’s the message park officials are trying to get out after a roving arachnid caused a car crash in Death Valley national park last weekend.
Two tourists from Switzerland braked hard after seeing a tarantula scampering across Route 190 in a remote area almost 5,000ft above sea level. A 24-year-old Canadian man on a motorcycle then crashed into the back of the Swiss couple’s rented camper van and had to be transported to a hospital.
