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.
Luckily for the un-named driver, the car stopped with its boot poking out into fresh air.
The vehicles parked directly beneath were not so lucky as bricks rained down, bashing roofs and smashing windscreens.
Stunned passers-by stopped to take pictures on their mobile phones as office workers happily downed tools to take in the sight.
Tulsa Police Department Corporal David Crow told radio station KRMG: 'At about 1.50pm this afternoon we had a report of a car hitting the side of a building.
'We didn't know what that meant but when we got here we saw this Mercedes backed halfway out of a parking spot on the seventh floor of this parking garage.

Re: Parking problems
Phht at least he got his automatic to go into reverse when it's been standing - mine won't 
If you can keep your head while those around you are losing theirs, you may have misjudged the situation.
Re: Parking problems
Mercedes must build a pretty sturdy car - back end looks relatively undamaged from having gone thru a brick wall

Re: Parking problems
Doubt it would look so good up close. That being said it doesn't look like the wall was to thick either.
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

My thoughts exactly, Scooter - one has to wonder at the integrity of that building's construction.
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.
