Default High speed accident at Quick Quack Car Wash

This is a first!

Quick Quack Car Wash has posted a video of a car crash at one of its locations that is going viral. The video has generated more than 54,000 views in two days on YouTube.

Here's what the car wash said about the crash:

Fortunately no one was seriously injured when a customer stepped on the gas instead of the brake and flew through the car wash at high speed. Notice the other customer leaving the vacuum area just seconds before this one crashes. We are proud of our staff for their professionalism and amazing responses. We were back up and running in just a couple of days!
Travis Kimball with Quick Quack Car was said the accident happened Friday Jan. 9. An older gentleman mistook the gas pedal for the brake.

His car traveled through the wash and crashed in the back parking lot. Thankfully no one was injured but the car did between $60,00 to $100,000 dollars in damages to the car wash according to Kimball.

Quick Quack Car had to stay close Friday afternoon and throughout the weekend but they reopened on Monday.

Well, the moron had to clean out his car after he and his dumb wife spent a day locked inside it.

Hard to buy the idea that he hadn't figured out the gas from the brake by the time he had gotten halfway through the car wash and torn off brushes, guide-rails, etc... If not, he was probably too drunk to be driving in the first place.

Are you serious?. It was that same couple? If that was the case, then maybe he just DID think that the gas pedal would slow him down.

I'd say maybe it's time to yank somebody's driver's license.

No, I am sure it's not the same people since it's a different car involved.

Instead of

"Going to the Quick Quack Car Wash to Get My Car Washed..."

For this Olds Intrigue driver,

"Flooring it Through the Quick Quack Car Wash to Get My Car Smashed..."

Jokes aside, Thank God the girl attendant inside, anyone outside, nor the drivers got hurt!

Definitely good to see that no one got hurt, but I have to applaud his parking at the end of it too. A little unorthodox, but smack dab in the middle of the spot

BHahahaha. Something about the sound track and the video just had me rolling laughing. I like this carwash, they have a sense of humor.

The lucky bastard at the end. Hahaha.

+1 on that this is crazy how did he not notice after the waving and hitting the brushes and basically destroying there car wash that he had the wrong pedal pressed. I will say did anyone else thing the Honda and Scion were really lucky!

If he thought he was stepping on the brakes, all the waving probably caused him to panic even more and step down harder
