A Winnipeg woman had a surprise, four-legged passenger hitch a ride in her car.

Nadya Crossman-Serb was in her car over the weekend when she looked in her rear-view mirror and saw a mouse sitting on top of it.

"I saw something move and it totally freaked me out,” Crossman-Serb said.

She said she tried to stay calm to get the mouse down.

"I tried to get it down, but it was in a really awkward position. You couldn’t really do much for it. I didn’t really want to touch it, so it just literally sat there until I drove all the way home,” she said.

Crossman-Serb said when she got home, her dad helped her catch the mouse.
