Shoshone Co. Sheriff deputies are investigating a group of individuals that take saran wrap and attach it to columns along Interstate 90, then stream it across the roadway.

Washington State University professor Fred Gittes said a motorcycle driving into the wrap would be a “bad situation” and the driver could easily be thrown from the bike.

Gittes said some plastic wrap stretched even 50 meters across the freeway could briefly result in a couple hundred pounds of force against anything that comes in its way. If a biker were to drive into the wrap, nearly 200 pounds of pressure would hit him, easily destabilizing the bike which could result in the driver’s death.
