A seven-foot crocodile named Fedya was rushed to the hospital after it was crushed by 18-stone woman. 

 

According to the report, the reptile was travelling on a circus bus and it was fast asleep when a woman sitting nearby was thrown on top of it after the vehicle hit a bump on the road. 

 

The reports added that the crocodile vomited for three hours – a sign of possible severe internal bleeding. It was checked in the hospital for possible injuries and missed a show in the ordeal. 

 

Meanwhile, the woman, the accountant for the circus troupe, escaped with only minor injuries. She was reprimanded for not wearing her seatbelt.  

 

Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper cheekily added that the woman was 'advised to lose weight and observe safety precautions'.
