Roadside Tree
Forbes swerves the Land Rover to avoid a mannequin blocking the road, crashing the vehicle directly into this roadside tree. The impact jars Forbes and scatters debris, leaving him dazed in the wreckage. The tree stands firm as an immovable natural barrier, its bark and branches absorbing the collision without mention of splintering or falling. The mannequin steps from the crash unharmed, retrieves an ammo box from the Land Rover's back, and departs, exploiting the tree-induced halt.
