Two motorcyclists were hospitalized over the weekend after striking a six-foot alligator on a Florida highway, according to state Highway Patrol.

The bizarre collision took place Saturday around 6:00pm on Interstate 4 in Volusia County, according to WOFL, an Orlando-based FOX affiliate that spoke exclusively with both bikers.

Gross, who was right behind Gilmore, suffered a similar fate.

“I just seen something, and like, once I realized what it was, it was just too late,” she told the network. “I was like, ‘oh crap, you know, like,’ and it just, the impact happened. I flipped over, and I just wasn’t expecting a gator to be in the middle of the road right there.”

Gross reportedly sustained a concussion and cracked the bone on the side of her wrist.

As for the alligator, the extent of its injuries remains unknown – and the crash is under investigation.

Gilmore and Gross, however, remain upbeat despite their injuries.

“They’re calling me Gator Gilmore instead of Florida man,” Gilmore said, before admitting that he is, indeed, “getting called Florida man, too.”
