Thumbs down Add me to the list of the curse

Well I’m at work, about 1hr left on my shift when I receive an email from our company stating, "If you are parked on so and so street, go check your cars there has been an accident" I knew I parked there today so I ran to the window and see the following

He had to have some speed for him to push all 4 parked cars.
his excuse, "My foot slipped and hit the gas instead of the brakes." driver was 60ish male.

The hood doesn’t have any damage to it, no dents but i will still have it checked out. The driver side headlight is sticking out a bit on the corner.
grill is deff done.

I could have sworn there was going to be a hole from the exhaust, but just a round dent with one side pierced.

It hurts to see an IS sandwiched like that. I wish for you and your car a speedy recovery.

Sorry to see all that mess...hopefully the body shop can make it all nice again...it looks like that ML350 was ready for a rear collision...it had that lower bar to protect the rear bumper...i'm sure it had minimal if any damage...

Ouch that hurts

Hope everything goes well in the repairs

sorry to see that man.....I don't get how people that is completely incompetent get to drive forever here in the US. They are a freaking public hazard! I have seen many time people so old driving. They can hardly walk but yeah they DO DRIVE enormous cadillacs or whatever so they screw more often.

Hope you will get your IS fixed soon.....

Oh my, that is bad, I would be . From the pictures you seem to work at the same building as my cousin. I swear some people should really retake the road test to see if they can still drive.
