It's a Gator, Not a Speed Bump

If last week's storms didn't freak you out, this might just do the trick.

An unwanted visitor made an appearance in an East Fort Worth neighborhood on Saturday. A 10-foot alligator was discovered at Trinity Boulevard and Bell Spur.

Capt. Neil Bieler, a game warden, told KRLD-AM, the gator had been hit by a vehicle after ending up on the roadway.

The gator had to be put to sleep.

According to KRLD, Bieler also said gators are more active in the rainy, spring season. And a gator call is not unusual for the game warden.
