A woman is facing a court appearance after being filmed driving a car with a tree wedged into its front.
Police in Roselle, Illinois, said the tree was thought to be around 15ft tall.
The footage, captured in January, has received thousands of likes and shares on the police department's Facebook page after it was posted this week.
Deputy Chief Roman Tarchala told the Chicago Tribune: "We didn't stand there and measure it - but it was a big tree."
After police stopped the driver at around 11.10pm on 23 January, they noticed that the airbags had also been deployed, possibly from hitting the tree.
The alleged driver, Maryann Christie, 54, of Schaumburg just north-east of Roselle, reportedly told police that she had struck the tree somewhere in her hometown - but she failed to remember where.
She was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and will appear in DuPage County Court on 15 April.
