Drivers in Nebraska are ending up between a rock and a parking space.
Motorists are finding their journeys are coming to an abrupt end after hitting a rock at the entrance to a parking lot.
The boulder appears to be out of the sight lines for many drivers who attempt to make a turn into the driveway.
The problem has become an endless source of amusement to those in the town of West Omaha, so much so the rock now has its own Facebook and Imugur pages.
A large rock is causing upset among drivers entering a West Omaha parking lot
Boulder is designed to stop cars cutting the curb but they end up getting stuck
The awkwardly shaped rock becomes wedged in between the car’s chassis
The rock seems to be shaped like a ramp so the cars move up it effortlessly then become stuck
Some vehicles end up balancing on just two wheels while others topple over altogether
This picture shows how the entrance and exit to the parking lot usually looks
‘Since the rock is more or less shaped like a ramp, if a car hits it with just a little bit of force, it gets stuck right on top of it,’ a description of the gallery reads.
‘Usually it’s bigger cars, it’s like right below their window level so they can’t really see it and before it’s too late they can’t stop,’ said Chris Menchaca to WOWT who works at a local store.
‘It’s happened 13 times in the last year and three or four times in the last few months,’ said Menchaca.
This family appears to be struggle to understand why their car is at a 45-degree angle
Another car appears to have met its fate after striking the rock at an awkward angle
Even this Jeep which would often travel off-road appears to be going nowhere fast
Even the mightiest of SUV’s are no match for this mountain of a rock in West Omaha, Nebraska
This huge 4X4 appears to have cleared the rock but then becomes stuck at the last moment
The rock was initially put in place to stop drivers from cutting the corner, but many still do, or at least attempt to, and then get caught.
Even huge 4X4 vehicles and SUV’s are getting stuck on the massive slab.
Visitors to the Facebook page have made a number of amusing comments online.
‘Makes me laugh every time I see it. Still don’t know how lol’, wrote one user.
‘So, the people driving over the rock…maybe they’re stoned?’ joked another.
It’s definitely a case of two-wheels bad, four wheels good with this particular car
Only the driver could explain why they felt the need to cut the curb by just a few inches
One man decided to lie on top of the rock which has now earned its own Facebook page
