Luckily, the driver and the alligator are OK, and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is finding the gator a “safer place to roam,” police in the city of Cocoa say.

“The things that go bump in the night: patrol officers rescued this little guy as he wandered into dangerous territory,” the Cocoa Police Department wrote in a tweet. “He was hit by a car on US1 at Dixon Blvd. He was fine and the driver was not injured.”

Be careful out there!
