Road Runner Faux Tunnel Painted On Wall Causes Car Crash — Gets 3 Million Views In 9 Hours

The cartoon featured Acme products, and is still so popular these days that a list of rules for the Road Runner and his Wile E. Coyote nemesis have gone viral online as well, reports Time.

The viral photo was uploaded to Imgur by a user named rburn, approximately six hours ago, at approximately noon on Wednesday, December 16. In that short period of time, it gained nearly 2.3 million views and more than 200 comments about the Road Runner image. (Update: In nine hours, the fake tunnel painting has received more than 3 million views.)

The photo of the fake painted Road Runner tunnel was also uploaded to Reddit at the same time by a user named MissReb, who hasn’t appeared to comment on the viral nature of the post. Others, however, are commenting a-plenty, with more than 2,000 comments on the post on Reddit.

Some of those folks commenting on the series of photos question their authenticity, because the image comes with scant details about where the Road Runner fake tunnel painting car crash happened. The first photo shows the Road Runner and the tunnel intact, with a real road veering off to the right. The red car in the photo apparently mistook the fake Road Runner road painted on the wall for a real Road Runner road, and crashed into it — although the damage shown on the car proves the person likely wasn’t going too fast.

Certain viewers note that there doesn’t appear to be any damage to the fake tunnel painting — at least none that can be seen in the image of the fake road painting from the photo.

The resulting photos of the car crash into the Road Runner road display a banged-up fender and crushed headlights. It also shows the Road Runnel tunnel being painted over, completely white, so that no other driver would mistake the Road Runner tunnel for a real road.
