TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Trappers caught a massive gator earlier this month that was wandering on Interstate 10.
WKMG reported a semi-truck hit the 12-foot, 463-pound gator. The gator survived.
Trappers removed the gator from I-10 near the Monroe Street exit. The Miami Herald reported the trapping caused temporary lane closures.
Vaughan Gators, LLC posted a picture of the gator on its Facebook page.
WKMG said the injuries to the gator were so bad it later had to be euthanized.
