M13KYF Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 A motorist had a narrow escape after he reversed his car through a brick wall on the seventh floor of a multi-storey car park. The 67-year-old driver got his foot stuck between the brake pedal and the accelerator as he tried to reverse into a spot in Tulsa, Oklahoma. His white Mercedes C-class immediately shot backwards, picking up enough speed to smash through the external wall of the Bank of America multi-storey. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldne ... -park.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT1703 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 That wall must be paper thin ... there is hardly any rear end damage as far as I can see !?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Shocked that there isnt a steel barrier running behind the cars to prevent them knocking/loosening brickwork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronzee Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 looks awfully photoshopped to me If it's chopped, there's been a lot of attention to detail with all the little bits of debris scattered hither and yon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
