    The tree was actually hit many times since the invention of the automobile. It was most likely purposely felled.

    Mankind wins again! 21.gif

    Those last two are examples of arborsculpture.

    Police Officer: Sir, you seem to have hit the only tree within 500 miles. 

    Driver: Sh*t......

    Police Officer: I'm going to have to ask you to take a field sobriety test.

    well, they used that isolated tree as like, a landmark, so you have to drive past it otherwise you're lost.

    It was probably on purpose, but like the person in the post directly above yours said, it was a landmark, and one was required to drive by the tree to know where they are and where they are going.
