Authorities in Wisconsin have commended a high school prank which involved a supposed car accident.
Cumberland police posted images on Facebook Monday, which seemed to show a car “smashing” into Cumberland High School.
“Hats off to the Cumberland High School Class of 2018 on your senior prank,” authorities wrote. “Congratulation Class of 2018 on one of best senior pranks that Cumberland High School has seen.”
School property wasn’t damaged by the stunt -- which was pulled off with black tarp, bricks, a junk car and tape.
"Students positioned an old junker strewn with loose bricks in front of what appeared to be a gaping black hole in the building's side, just outside the principal's office," the Cumberland School District said. "It wasn't actually a hole, though. Using tape and a black tarp, the students created the illusion of damage, making it look like the car crashed into the side of the building."
