• The driver of a Toyota Camry flipped his car inside a car wash, in a new video gone viral.
• It’s believed the driver hit the gas pedal instead of the brakes after paying at a booth.
• No injuries were sustained by the driver or anyone else working at the car wash.
When it comes to cars, just when you think you've seen it all, something new, completely unusual and yea, even unthinkable comes along.
Like, for example, a car flipping over. Inside a car wash.
If there’s one place where speeds are extremely low, and there’s no traffic to speak, it’s inside a car wash. Nevertheless, the owner of a Toyota Camry recently showed the world that yes, it is possible to roll a car there.
Fortunately, we can laugh a little about this story today, because the incident left no consequences other than inflicting some damage on the interior of the building.
Local networks broadcast video of the incident, and a good thing too because otherwise who would have believed this possible. It's easy to conclude on watching the video that the driver evidently hit the gas pedal instead of the brakes as he was preparing to enter the car wash.
As a result, the car sped into the car wash area before hitting a machine and flipping over.
