A crocodile came underneath a moving truck and was trapped for a few moments before the driver showed reflex mindfulness. The massive reptile swam away in the river at a popular river crossing in Kakadu National Park, Australia. The video of the incident has gone viral on the Internet, and fortunately, there was no damage to the crocodile.

The video went viral on social media platforms since Monday, which showed a carrier truck crossing the popular river crossing known as Cahills Crossing in Kakadu National Park. As the truck moves towards the other end of the river, a crocodile hiding in the flooded water emerges from under the vehicle. The big reptile can be seen stuck underneath the moving truck for a few moments before the driver stops the vehicle and lets the massive beast slip into the river again.

Cahills Crossing in Kakadu National Park

The infamous Cahills crossing passes through the East Alligator River, which is known for its high population of crocodiles.

Mr Mastratisi, who filmed the viral incident, opened up in a conversation with ABC News that it was a once-in-a-lifetime video capture. He also shared that he has never seen a crocodile getting stuck under a vehicle in his entire life. Mr Mastratisi said, "The driver had no idea there was a croc there, you couldn't see the croc under the water."

He added, "The driver goes and hits a bump. You wouldn't want to stop in the middle of a crossing, especially a croc-infested crossing."

"As soon as it was safe to do so, he stopped. I don't even think the driver knew what was stuck under the car."
