This accident actually happened. In Monterrey in Mexico a driver crashed into a concrete wall decorated with a trompe-l'ล“il mural of a Looney Tunes tunnel.

If this is AI generated, it's hard to tell without deeply analyze the very little artifacts.
On the tweet, the 2 noticeable I see are the right side of the wall with the "leaky looking" on the wall is not the same and the shadow on the rocks near the coyote are different. Also the truck, but not being in the country, I can't tell on first sight without digging very deeply.

But with the only one image posted on the first message, for me it's impossible to see.

They are very clever and amazing to see during daylight but can confuse drivers in the dark when they are on the facing wall of, for instance, a hairpin bend and there are no streetlights illuminating that stretch of road before you reach bend.
There was one on a stretch road I used to use and they caused several accidents and had to be removed.
Amazingly realistic in some cases๐Ÿ™‚
