"Two roads in Cape Girardeau buckled as Missouri experienced extreme heat over the weekend and a bystander happened to capture the scary moment on video.
Footage recorded by Albert Blackwell on Sunday, June 22 shows a portion of Siemers Drive in the western part of the city, suddenly snap, sending a car lurching forward.
Blackwell told Storyful he had been filming a bulge in the road but wanted a better angle when he caught the road buckling.
“When I went back to get a front angle of cars going over the smaller buckle, the road exploded and rose over 18 inches, sending a car airborne,” Blackwell told Storyful.

Authorities warn of more roads buckling
City authorities, in a post on Facebook, said two roads, including Siemers Drive, buckled in the ongoing heatwave.
“With more high temperatures expected this week, the city may experience more street buckling due to the heat,” the city cautioned, urging drivers to drive carefully and be mindful of crews repairing the streets.
A spokesperson for the Cape Girardeau Police Department told USA TODAY June 23 no injuries were reported in reference to the incident.
"In reference to safe driving and roadway buckling due to heat, drivers should be wearing a seat belt and if a driver notices anything unusual with the roadway, please contact local law enforcement as soon as possible," the police department advised."
