We’ve all had to deal with pesky insurance claims at some point or another. Home, auto, health, it doesn’t matter, the one thing we can all agree on even in the United States is that insurance sucks. In no place was that more apparent than in Missouri, when the road itself decided to test out some poor drivers’ car insurance policy by transforming into a ramp and sending it flying in a wild piece of video.
In a wild video shared to the PublicFreakout Reddit page by user Ireallydontlikereddi, you can see a car driving on the road in Missouri when out of nowhere, the entire road buckles and sends a light blue vehicle airborne, and then it comes crashing down. Later in the video, people are taking footage and showcasing the road itself, which seems to have become a huge ramp out of nowhere, leading to the inevitable question. How could you possibly explain this to your insurance agent? That is what many folks on the page asked in a rather amusing comment section that came to life, blaming it on climate change, on Trump, on angry road gods tired of bad driving.
“Hello? State Farm? Yeah so I was driving down the road and the road formed a ramp right before I got there and i hit it like a monster jam truck.”
“Road buckles due to heat wave? That just doesn’t sound right to me. We have lots of roads in hot places in this country and they don’t typically behave like this.”
“It’s a combination of factors, but the short answer is it probably didn’t have adequate expansion joints or they were too degraded. Concrete expands in the heat and without expansion joints to account for it, it can buckle like this. A new or well maintained road wouldn’t do this, but it’s still caused by heat.”
“The planet is hatching.”
“Trump: VERY SUCCESSFUL BOMBING RUN ON ROADS. HEAGING HOME #MIGA”
As you can see, if there is one topic that can unite a divided country, it should be incidents like this. Stay safe in Missouri if you’re a frequent driver; you never know which road may be hazardous next.
