Dawood Salejwe of Port Shepstone found the snake on the road and called Doug Dyer of Enviro Watch, who came and fetched the snake.

Sadly, however, the python died. It is thought it had been run over by a vehicle.

Doug urges motorists to drive with caution in the evening and to avoid driving over creatures such as pythons who venture out at night.
