A smashed camper found Sunday morning on a pedestrian walkway over a Portland, Oregon, interstate has police somewhat baffled, a Twitter post says.

“Shaking our heads over this one,” police wrote on Twitter.

The camper, meant to be mounted on a vehicle, appears somewhat broken up as it blocks the walkway over Interstate 205 at Southeast Steele Street near 92nd Avenue, police wrote.

It’s not clear whether someone tried to drive a vehicle across the walkway or whether the camper ended up there in some other way.

Police asked on Twitter that people steer clear of the walkway until the busted-up camper can be removed.
