A jaw-dropping video is making waves online, showing a Missouri road buckling under extreme heat and launching an unsuspecting car into the air. The dramatic incident, captured on Sunday in Cape Girardeau, is a stark reminder of the heatwave’s destructive power.
The footage reveals a car speeding along when it suddenly hits a severely buckled section of pavement, sending it airborne in a scene straight out of an action movie. The road’s deformation, caused by soaring temperatures, created a dangerous ramp-like effect that caught the driver off guard.
“Please drive carefully and be mindful of city workers who will be out repairing streets,” the City of Cape Girardeau urged in a statement, highlighting the risks posed by heat-damaged infrastructure.
This viral moment underscores the intense impact of the ongoing heatwave across Missouri, where temperatures have pushed roads to their breaking point. Authorities are now racing to repair damaged streets while warning drivers to stay vigilant.
