A tarantula crossing the road caused a collision that left a motorcyclist in hospital in California.
Two tourists, from Switzerland, braked abruptly to avoid killing the spider after seeing it crossing state route 190 in the Death Valley National Park on Saturday.
A 24-year-old Canadian man on a motorbike then crashed into the back of the couple's rented camper van, the National Park Service (NPS) said in a statement.
"The spider walked away unscathed," the NPS added.
