As Anthony Jackson drove across the San Jacinto Bridge on the Grand Parkway early Thursday, he hit and killed a wandering 300-pound alligator.
According to Montgomery County authorities, Jackson was traveling at the posted speed heading eastbound around 3 a.m. when he hit the 10-foot animal and dragged it under his vehicle for nearly a mile.
Jackson's car sustained some damage, but he was uninjured. A game warden authorized disposing of the reptile's body in the San Jacinto River.
