Oddest object that you've seen on the highways?
 

What are some of the craziest things you have seen just laying in the middle of the roadway.....

Hands down for me was a full 3 seat couch right in the middle lane of route 9 last year. I defiantly called the cops the second I saw that one.

Burning tractor trailers, on my stretch of I95 its becoming a weekly event.

Herd of cattle escaped from an overturned semi. Nothing quite as funny as watching a State Trooper trying to coax cows away from I-75.

A mattress of course. :D

That reminds me of the usual 18 wheeler getting its trailer ripped apart when they hit the bridges on the Merit Parkway...

this go down

Saw a camper get a few inch's shaved off just past Sikorsky the other week.:D

haha, morons. I've always wondered if a Sprinter could make it under the lowest bridge (I'm pretty sure its the one on the border with NY)

A giant inflatable Dilbert head that had escaped from a park and landed in the middle of I-75 just south of Flint in 1999

My uncle got this picture with his phone. He was driving on a road alongside the highway when he saw the smoke and flames. He pulled over and walked through the woods to get a front row seat.


Thats the second truck accident in a week in that spot.:rolleyes:

I'm glad I provide inspiration. :D

Hmm....oddest thing I've seen.....my wife contributes here, she saw and old woman walking along the highway in mint-green pants, who had obviously pooped her pants. :eek: :puke: She also saw a geo metro being tailgated by a semi at about 70mph, and the guy in the metro just had his arm out the window, with middle finger activated. :D

I've seen a pickup driving along at high speed that had the whole chassis bent out of shape, the guy was inside with the steering wheel turned left to keep the truck in a straight line. I'd say the truck was off by about 40 degrees between the front and rear wheels. :eek: The guy had a huge beard.

Well this one actually ended up involving me lol

I was driving on the CA 10 East right next to the fast lane, a red corvette came up to me and was pacing, he sped up just to where his passenger door was lined up with my hood. Well I start seeing his rear right tire wobbling and slowly slide off of his rim and come right at me, I floored my 300E to speed up and dodge it but the tire hit my rear drivers door and made a loud "THUD" and "KLUNK" noise, I looked in my rear view mirror to see the tire rolling down the freeway behind me. The Corvette pulled over with no tire on a new looking chrome rim...ouch

When I got home the car was fine but I had a huge rubber mark on my rear drivers door lol

Seen personally by me:

1. A toilet.
2. A sofa w/cushions
3. A bolt of lightning
4. A tractor/trailer wheel, which (may) have bounced entirely over my car (I ducked)

Not seen by me but I know to be true:

1. A high-tension line across I-85 in Atlanta (happened 3 miles ahead of me, traffic stopped for hours)
2. (Also in Atlanta): Beanie Babies, which nearly caused a human catastrophe as people got out of their cars and scrambled for them.

pontiac aztek?

I forgot about this: I had an entire truck tailgate come off of a pickup in front of the 560SL. I frantically beeped at the guy because I saw that it was coming off but then I had to fall back a long distance. It must have slid 500 feet.
