As the police explained in a statement, the spider emergency occurred on Monday morning, May 16, 2022, at around 9:05 a.m.
The driver discovered a giant spider in her car while driving north on the A7, just before the Lottorf car park.
This had roped down from the ceiling of the car.
The woman stopped her vehicle on the hard shoulder and called the police on 110.
According to the police, the woman "did not want to continue driving with this spider in the car".
Officers from the North Police Motorway and District Precinct were sent to help.
And as the emergency services found on site, it was actually a palm-sized spider.
The giant house spider "Eratigena duellica" was caught in the car and then released into the wild.
Another spider only caused a stir in Bavaria at the weekend.
It is potentially poisonous and was discovered in a banana crate in a Bavarian supermarket: a Brazilian web spider.
The manager of the supermarket caught her with a glass.
