Rohnert Park -- Police have identified a woman who was apparently wearing a live boa constrictor as a fashion accessory when she was killed in a single-car crash early New Year's Day.
Rohnert Park police Sgt. Art Sweeney said Margaret Ann Walters, 29, of Cotati, died when her Saab slammed broadside into a grove of redwood trees in the center divide of the Rohnert Park Expressway near Rancho Verde Mobile Home Park.
Sweeney said an open container of alcohol was found in the vehicle and toxicology tests to determine if Walters was intoxicated are pending. He said Walters was returning home from a New Year's Eve party when the accident occurred at 3:10 a.m.
Rohnert Park public safety Sgt. Wulff Reinhold, who responded to the crash, got a surprise when he reached through a broken window of the car to check for a pulse on Walters' neck, Sweeney said.
Reinhold noticed Walters' clothing "rustled" and discovered a 3-feet-long boa constrictor on her person.
Sweeney said an autopsy ruled out the possibility that the snake strangled Walters.

Note to the public:
I absolutely cannot be a Good Samaritan or a responsible citizen when snakes are involved. I've got the worst phobia about snakes. I can't even touch a picture of a snake.
You're bleeding and a snake is between you and me...you just keep bleeding.

This woman is the example of what Liberals use in their arguments for mandatory seatbelt and helmet laws.
In their eyes, the public is too stupid to make the intelligent choice for themselves.

Who hasn't spent at least one New Year's Eve driving around all blitzed at 3:00AM with a bottle of booze in their hand with a snake around their neck?

The scale of this is enormous. I agree. Therefore, it is time to de-fang the snake lobby. We must act now. Their venomous propoganda is choking the body politic and the antidote is obvious.

Don't know for sure, but based on this story I'm guessing that she must have been one hell of a fun girl to party with.
