Witnessing the situation unfold, a woman passing by decided to lend a hand by attempting to remove the snake from the tire rim using a bag she had in her possession. However, her efforts proved futile.

Undeterred, another person armed with a broom, attempted to coax the snake out of its hiding spot. Despite their best efforts, the elusive snake remained firmly lodged within the tire rim, refusing to emerge.

"The ongoing infrastructure work in our area has been causing quite a disturbance. As a result of this extensive project, we have been witnessing a significant increase in snake and mouse sightings. The snake we encountered today was unlike anything we had seen before. It was a large serpent that somehow managed to become entangled within the wheel, making it incredibly challenging for us to extract it. Despite our best efforts, we were unable to free the snake from its predicament," Ahmet Canarslan, a local shopkeeper, told reporters.
