Default Driver crashes through 6th Fl garage wall

Just wasn't this drivers day to go....







Oklahoma - A Tulsa driver is extremely lucky. He backed his car out of the sixth-floor of a parking garage.

It happened at the Bank of America building parking garage. The backside of the car was jutting out of the building.


No one was hurt, but several cars on the street were damage when bricks from the crash fell to the ground.

Agreed. For eating a wall, that SLK looks pretty much in tact, paint and all. Wonder how much his insurance will go up because of this.

That looks odd coming out of a completely closed off garage.

Funny how this won't be reported as unintended acceleration since it wasn't a Toyota. Yet it is the same "problem" as EVERY Toyota case - the driver.

if it was a TOYOTA, the headline would be different and it would be on CNN. I tell you.

The real question here was how fast was this guy going to have backed THRU a wall. Brick walls can take a hit and really don't "give" too much. He had to have been flying in order to make break-thru.

And yet the car looks like it doesn't even have a scratch on it.
