Another "worst parking job"

[Sunny]

Lol, I think this one beats that other one where chick rives the X5 over couple of cars.

what are those buildings made of?

paper?

Just shows what a strong car the W204 is.

As we've seen before. Nothing knocks down toll boths or punches through brick walls like a Mercedes-Benz. Tank-like, unlike any other.

Looks like it. Where I'm from, a brick wall is built to last a couple of centuries and a car going though one of those would not look like that one

At least that's not bad as being stuck behind a woman trying to reverse park a Lexus RX. This is epic

The Daily Fail has the story:

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.

'The driver got his foot stuck under the accelerator and couldn't get it unstuck.

'He was coming across the back of the parking garage and he created a little bit of momentum because he went quite a distance and hit this wall and almost came all the way out.'

Bricks flew up to 80 feet on to a car park below, Cpl Crow added.
'We're very lucky no-one was walking there,' he said.

'The driver is not injured - luckily from all of this all we got was property damage.'

An eye-witness told KRMG that he was coming out of a restaurant across the road the moment the Mercedes hit the wall.

The man, who did not give his name said: 'I saw the whole thing live - it's the craziest thing I've ever seen.

'There was a loud boom and we all looked up and saw the car coming through the wall.'

One woman, Mary Barnes, said the roof and windows of her 2008 Toyota Corolla had been smashed by the falling debris.

'It still felt new to me,' she said of her car.

Officials were able to drive the Mercedes back into the car park, as the back wheels were not completely outside the building.

A sheet of plywood was covering the hole in the building last night.

To be brutally honest, I think that what is actually much, much worse than the botched parking job is the epic grammar FAIL! by the Daily Mail.

Not even a Mercedes would have saved the driver if they had fallen from that high. Can you imagine if the car fell straight down, rear end first. Would have been really horrific.

Reminds me of the time a GL450 was put into reverse by a parking attendant here in NYC and fell three stories on its wheels.

WOW...the GL saved his arse.

I love how the W204 appears to be virtually undamaged and the Corolla below has a broken rear windshield! Oh the pleasure at the misfortune of others!

Luck for the driver that this wasn't a 4matic version, then this would have been happened…

 

[VroomVroom]

Wow looks undamaged aswell

 

[Mr Robert]

Ah, it was a Bank of America building. No wonder the wall looked solid at first glance but turned out to be made out of paper when push came to shove

Not so sure. He may have had neck issues, but if the seat was in the correct position he should have been fine. Six stories would have impacted at 30-40mph or something like that. I think ten stories will get you to 60mph.
If the seat held up, he would have been "ok" minus his pants.

MBUSA recommends a different model to crash through a brick wall.
