The driver had a 15-foot tree impaled in the front of the Lincoln and the bumper had fallen off, CNN reported.

The photo was shared more than 20,000 times, but some believed the images to be fake, so police posted a video of the stop this week. That video has had at least 128,000 views.

When police stopped the driver, the car's airbags had been deployed, police posted on the Facebook page.

The driver was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, CNN reported.
