There was a big crash on a road leading to Denver International Airport on Sunday, so almost 100 people wound up taking a detour that Google Maps suggested.<\/p>\n
And . . . they all wound up STUCK in a MUDDY FIELD.\u00a0 It turns out the detour was a dirt road that Google Maps NEVER should’ve recommended, and after a few cars got stuck, everyone else was trapped behind them.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n ENTERTAINMENT<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n (Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson)<\/p>\n (Daisy Ridley, Naomi Watts)<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n _______________________________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n <\/p>\n TODAY IS\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n MONDAY- 1953 [66] GM workers assemble the 1st \u2018Corvette\u2019 sports car in Flint, Michigan.

Authorities in the state say a 15-foot yellow python was spotted slithering loose a subdivision in Tuscaloosa three times since last Monday. They say anyone who sees the animal should call 9-1-1 and do their best to give the location of the snake.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n There’s a “zombie snake” that was found in North Carolina called the eastern hognose snake — and it’s famous for being able to flip over on its back and play dead!<\/p>\n Officials say when threatened, the non-venomous snake \u201cwill fake death by opening its mouth, rolling over on its back, and writhing around.<\/p>\n The species will also spread its neck like a cobra and hiss. While the snakes rarely bite, they repeatedly strike if under threat. It can grow up to about four feet in length, is found in the eastern part of the U.S., from Florida up to New England and portions of southern Canada<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Cape Coral Police Department in Florida said in a Facebook post that an officer responded Sunday (June 23rd) to “an animal complaint”.
