A Reddit user named “Miss Reb” posted photos she took of a FIAT that drove into a wall painted like a Road Runner tunnel. In fact, there was even a painting of Road Runner beside it.

...

While, the situation happened three months ago, it is just coming to surface now. The exact location has not been determined. Though, a closer look at the images shows that none of the cars photographed have American license plates.

The painted tunnel was one of the more popular of Wile E. Coyote’s stunts he performed to trick the Road Runner and hoping it would smack into it, thus leading to the carnivorous creature’s delicacy.

If it’s wrong that I think this is funny, I don’t want to be right.

After a couple of drinks, I could see how that would happen.

Think of the pain the artist felt. PTSD etc. Trial lawyers circle.

Looks to me like the driver realized just a little too late that it was a painting.... looks like a non-injury accident.
Full speed would have demolished that car.

Inebriated driver, “I didn’t try to drive into the tunnel. I just swerved to avoid a roadrunner.”

I remember driving on the turnpike one night. The highway was perfectly gray until I hit a patch of freshly poured black asphalt on the start of an incline. I swear it looked like I was running into a wall at 75 mph. Scared the hell out of me.

Yep, it looks like they painted over it. Pity they didn’t just add a “road closed” barricade at the “entrance”.
