Cars going airborne is nothing new, but one sent flying by a road buckling under extreme heat is a genuine rarity. The bizarre moment was caught on camera, which is fortunate, because the scene is so improbable that few sensible people would believe it otherwise.
Intense heat can cause pavement to expand and suddenly heave upward, creating a ramp-like hazard out of nowhere. The footage serves as an unusual reminder that even the road itself can become a danger under the right extreme conditions.
