Imagine that you are driving blissfully along a road while listening to your favourite music. And suddenly, while taking a turn, you spot some stripes among the bushes. That is enough to scare anyone and make an emergency call to the police. Something similar happened to a driver passing through an area in Maryland, USA. But instead of a scary investigation, the incident turned out to be rather funny. The post regarding the happening shared on Twitter by the Montgomery County Department of Police has now grabbed the attention of netizens. It may make you giggle too.
