The space car was headed to Roswell, New Mexico, through Crawford County for a festival on Friday evening, according to the post.

With the “wind/traffic of the interstate plus the size and aerodynamics of his vehicle, he understood that the potential for lane violations existed,” Public Information Officer and Undersheriff Major Adam Carnal said in an email to Fox News Digital.
