Everyone has faced frustrating insurance claims at some point—whether it’s home, auto, or health insurance. One thing many across the United States can agree on is that dealing with insurance can be a headache. This sentiment was especially clear in Missouri, where a bizarre incident showed the road itself testing a driver’s car insurance policy by suddenly transforming into a ramp and launching a vehicle in a remarkable video.
The roads are trying to attack us.

In a striking clip posted to the PublicFreakout Reddit community by user Ireallydontlikereddi, a car is seen traveling on a Missouri road when suddenly the pavement buckles dramatically. The roadway forms a ramp-like structure, propelling a light blue car into the air before it crashes down. Later in the footage, onlookers document the road’s unusual deformation, which resembles a massive ramp seemingly appearing out of nowhere.
This bizarre event raises an immediate and amusing question: how would anyone explain this to their insurance company? This exact dilemma sparked a lively and humorous discussion among viewers, with various commenters suggesting everything from climate change and political blame to mythical road gods frustrated with reckless driving.
- “Hello? State Farm? Yeah, I was driving and suddenly the road turned into a ramp and I hit it like a monster jam truck.”
- “Road buckles due to heat wave? That just doesn’t sound right. Many roads in hotter regions don’t usually behave like this.”
- “It’s likely a mix of factors, but most likely the road lacked sufficient expansion joints or they were in poor condition. Concrete expands when heated, and without proper joints, it can buckle as seen here. New or properly maintained roads wouldn’t react this way, though heat is the cause.”
- “The planet is hatching.”
- “Trump: VERY SUCCESSFUL BOMBING RUN ON ROADS. HEATING HOME #MIGA”
Clearly, incidents like this have a way of uniting people from all walks of life. If you frequently drive in Missouri, exercise caution—the roads might surprise you in unexpected ways.
