Man shocked to find crocodile 'speed bump' while driving home at night
A Queensland man driving home in the evening was shocked to come across a huge crocodile sitting in the middle of the road.
Justin Mills was driving home from work just north of Ingham in Far North Queensland when he spotted an unusual obstacle on the Bruce Highway on Tuesday night.
“Heading home from work last night and found this speed bump on the highway at the Seymour north of Ingham, with traffic control just down the road,” Mr Mills posted on Wednesday.
The 3.5 metre crocodile was crossing the highway in the dead of night.
The reptile was illuminated by the car’s headlights as it crawled across the road.
Crocodile sightings have increased in far north Queensland as floods ravage the area.
In another sighting, a large crocodile was spotted close to a suburban roadway in Far North Queensland over the weekend.
Images of the reptile, said to be near the rubbish tip and roadworks on Southern Access Road in Cairns surfaced on social media on Sunday.
It comes as floodwaters rise in far north Queensland, forcing residents from their homes and sparking rescues.
