A TEENAGE girl has admitted she might have accidently ran over a huge rabbit that was plaguing her village.

Villagers living in Felton, Northumberland, have been terrorized by the bunny, said to be a cross between a rabbit and a hare.

It left prints the size of a deer and yanked turnips out of the ground.

Allotment holders forked out for two armed guards, ordered to shoot the were-rabbit on sight.

Now an 18-year-old girl has admitted she might have unwittingly killed it.

Rael Rawlinson, of Percy Terrace, Alnwick, hit the rabbit in her car but the impact was so great it cracked her bumper, leaving it hanging off. A tuft of rabbit hair was stuck to the car and she found a two foot long rabbit on the roadside.

Rael said: "I saw a massive rabbit run out across the road infront of me, it was abnormally large. I couldn't stop in time so it ended up squashed beneath my wheels.

"I heard there was a big rabbit at Felton, so I thought it might be that one."
