Somehow, this story would be easier to imagine if it involved a giant walking cactus monster like the Cactuar in Final Fantasy, but no. It was just a regular ol' saguaro cactus on the outskirts of Tucson and somehow this dude got the entire thing wedged into his car.
As the Associated Press explains, the Arizona driver — whose name was not publicized, probably to his vast relief — may have been inebriated, which would help explain this whole thing. Evidently, he was crossing over the median when, through some disastrous swerve or another, he managed to get the entire trunk of this saguaro cactus off the ground and straight into the middle of his windshield. Now, if you've ever been unlucky enough to get pricked by a cactus, you're probably wincing at the thought of just how many of those quills he had to get pulled out afterward. Twenty, 50, 100? The Associated Press said he "escaped injury", so maybe zero? Quills aside, at least he survived.
