Authorities in Tulsa, Oklahoma, have been left baffled after a white vehicle ended up poking through the outside wall of a car park - five storeys up.

No-one was hurt in the incident but several cars below were damaged by falling debris.

Hadn't heard that term before Steve  :eek: But is a popular "pastime" here in Aus illustrated by the popularity of Funniest home videos and their ilk... (I don't personally get much joy out of others misfortune)

I don't understand why the BBC web site states they are baffled, they reported it on BBC Breakfast yesterday morning and stated that the driver had put the car into reverse then took a suspected heart attack which made him/her spasm and their foot got trapped between the accelerator and brake shooting the car backwards.  Lucky it was a rear wheel drive preventing the car going any further after the wheels lost traction, front wheel drive and the drop to carnage was inevitable :eek: :eek:
