While being hauled to its new home at the Solid Rock Church in Monroe, the 50 foot tall statue of Jesus was trapped as it was being driven through a McDonalds drive-thru. One outstretched arm of the statue caught on a statue of Ronald McDonald causing it to shift, stand semi-upright and lodge between a drive thru window and a McDonaldland Playland.
“It
was the loudest, craziest, most disturbing thing I have ever seen,”
said McDonald’s employee Darren Bick. “One minute I’m typing an order
into the computer, the next minute there is a thunderous noise, the
building shakes, and the face of Jesus is pressed staring at me through
my drive thru window. I’m going to have nightmares. If I ever sleep
again.”
The
driver of the truck had attempted to maneuver the vehicle through,
despite turns that were obviously too tight and a warning sign
indicating that he did not have enough clearance. “I know I should have
just parked and gone inside,” said driver Fred Holland. “But I truly
thought I was going to make it. I don’t know what it was. I think that I
just had this feeling that, with him, all things are possible.”
