Motorist Drives Into Wet Cement In Milwaukee County Incident

Talk about stupid. A motorist in Wisconsin removed a barrier on a closed road and then proceeded to drive into freshly poured concrete. This is the first time I've seen something like this. I know people who have stepped into wet cement, but burying your car up to the floorboards is a new one.

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation shared the photo on social media, with the caption 'FEELING STUCK."

The incident happened in Milwaukee County at the I-41/894/US 45 and National Avenue Interchange. The photo from the WI511 camera shows the truck buried up to the top of its tires. The Nissan Frontier just didn't have enough muscle to make it through. Seriously, though, how would you not realize that it's wet cement?

Do you think they were going at speed when they hit the wet cement, or do you think they just slowly crawled into it and thought they could make it out? Hopefully, they got it towed before it became a permanent fixture on the road.

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation reminds motorists that crews place barricades and signs for your safety and theirs. Don't remove or ignore road signs, or this could happen to you.

LOOK: See how much gasoline cost the year you started driving

To find out more about how has the price of gas changed throughout the years, Stacker ran the numbers on the cost of a gallon of gasoline for each of the last 84 years. Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (released in April 2020), we analyzed the average price for a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline from 1976 to 2020 along with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for unleaded regular gasoline from 1937 to 1976, including the absolute and inflation-adjusted prices for each year.

Read on to explore the cost of gas over time and rediscover just how much a gallon was when you first started driving.
