A police officer in Roselle, Illinois was tipped off to a potential drunk driver by a very small and subtle clue: a 15-foot tree embedded in the front grill of a car – a car that was still, both remarkably and terrifyingly, being driven at the time.
The police department notes that the officer, upon seeing the huge tree attached to the car, stopped the driver and saw that the airbags had been deployed as well.
The department released dash cam footage of the incident – which is insane:
Since we are new to Facebook, we were not quite sure what to expect from our post. We have received requests to post the video from this call. Some just didn't believe it was true, so we have attached a short video of this call.The first portion of the video is in slow-motion and shows the car traveling in the opposite direction; the second portion shows the officer trying to stop the car and then as he approaches the driver. Yes, it is true and it happened! DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE!
