The authorities took to Facebook to share a few videos of the car. The Lee Police Department wrote, "Imagine you are driving, when you hear an odd sound and then THIS happens. That is exactly what happened to a driver in town on Monday during the storm. We are happy to report that there were no injuries. This could have had a very different ending."

The Lee Police Department continued, "This is just ONE of the over 100 calls we responded to on Monday. We care about your safety.
