Item #: SCP-5202

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures:SCP-5202 is to be locked inside a 2x1x1 metal crate when not undergoing testing. Under no circumstances is SCP-5202 to be bolted down in any way while not in testing. No foundation vehicles are to be driven in a diameter of 100 metres near SCP-5202 at any time. Testing is to be only approved with a minimum level 3 clearance researcher and no less than 2 security agents armed with armour piercing weaponry in the event of D class noncompliance during testing.

Description: SCP-5202 is a roadside bollard recovered from the highway ███-█ within the ███████ city. Physically SCP-5202 looks no different than the other bollards along the highway with the letters and numbers printed on it being ASTM C40. The anomalous traits activate whenever a person with select range of mental medical conditions approaches in any vehicle, the person/s become its "target". The targeted persons vehicle will spontaneously suffer a malfunction causing the vehicle to specifically crash into SCP-5202. Vehicles will suffer damage as expected from a high speed crash, however the targeted individual is completely unharmed in the crash. After recovery, the targeted persons state a feeling of gratefulness to be alive and an unusual state of happiness which appears to last well after the incident. Any depression, anxiety or down state of mind conditions also rapidly cure after the crash.

Addendum #1:: SCP-5202 is responsible for 4 crashes before recovery, following reports of a cursed bollard among council road workers after the third crash. The Foundation recovered the bollard, the vehicle and person involved in the crash after the fourth incident. Agents successfully blamed a dangerous flaw in the road design causing a common crash area. The abnormal properties were further proven, with the bollard emitting a consistent 28.36MHz wavelength however the range of the radio waves are short. Radio specialists have identified SCP-5202 to be broadcasting a signal however large amounts of static and encryption like disruption are proving difficult in identifying what is being broadcast.
