It looks kind of weird, right, and somewhat legit. But it figures because it all turned out to be a HUGE hoax.

We know who could of guessed that would happen right? The department eventually put an end to the speculation, admitting the post was just meant to be funny.

We always try to have a little fun with our Facebook and Twitter feeds. That way, we don’t just post news about crashes and road conditions, but a little something to engage our audience in different ways.
