'Quite a calm koala': marsupial gets behind the wheel after being rescued from Australian freeway
Adelaide woman Nadia Tugwell put the koala in her car after it caused a multi-vehicle crash by ‘stomping’ on to the freeway
"A koala crossing one of South Australia’s busiest freeways has led to a six-car pile-up as drivers abandoned their vehicles to mount a rescue of the “calm” marsupial.
A male driver reportedly was the first person to stop his car to try to rescue the koala before 7am. His car was then hit from behind, causing a chain reaction.

So glad the koala wasn't hurt. Can't help smiling at his antics - no idea of the devastation he's caused, of course. Adorable!
