Targets are known for having big red balls outside of their entrances and they helped to create an unusual sight at a store in Holly Springs, North Carolina.

As you can see in these tweets and video, a Nissan Altima managed to drive on top of one and get stuck.

According to authorities, the car reversed into the ball at high speed and effectively climbed on top of it. This is backed up by the photos, which show the Altima received extensive damage to its rear bumper while the front bumper has also seen better days.

WRAL reports the incident occurred yesterday afternoon and emergency crews were able to stabilize the vehicle as well as ‘free’ the driver. Speaking of the latter, the station said 49 year old Michelle Wright was charged with reckless driving as well as driving while impaired.

Needless to say, those are serious charges as reckless driving is a Class 2 misdemeanor that is punishable by up to 60 days in jail as well as fines of up to $1,000 (£733 / €848). Driving while impaired is far more serious as there are five levels of the offense, which are “punishable by a fine up to $200 (£146 / €170) and a minimum jail sentence of 24 hours and a maximum of 60 days” at Level 1.

The incident is shaping up to be a costly Target run, but thankfully no one was injured.
