Life I saw something crazy today (woman driver)

Dante84 · 04-13-2011, 04:46 PM

Well, my boss and I were leaving a meeting in KCK today and were loading the car up, when we heard a crazy "crunch" noise.

We looked up and saw a construction pick-up with a flat trailer drive by, and figured it was a bump in the road or something.

Now the car is loaded up, and we see a cop who happens to be driving by flip his lights on and pull a u-turn, but no siren. Then he stops about 50 yards down the road, which seemed odd, since he didn't pull anyone over.

My boss goes back inside to take a leak, and as he's gone, a firetruck and ambulance drive by, sirens blaring, and stop by the cop car.. Now I know something is up.

We get in the car, and start driving down the road. I'm looking to see what happened and still don't see a car.

Then I see that they are at the entrance of a parking garage.

And then I see that the garage entrance and exit are blocked by huge chunk of concrete.

Then I see that a light pole is knocked over and laying in the grass.

Then I see a missing piece of concrete from the second story of the parking garage (which happens to be the top level).

Then ...

There is a Rav4 smooshed between a tree and the garage itself, sideways.

It seems the woman drove off the top of the parking garage, knocking the cement wall to the street below, in mid-air hit a light pole, knocking it to the ground, then fell between a tree and the wall of the garage.

My boss and I figured that she probably hit the gas while she was in drive instead of being in reverse.

Holy effing shit. Never seen anything like it.

Toyota: When we say we borrowed the fly-by-wire throttle concept, we meant it.

Dante84 · 04-13-2011, 04:50 PM

I know, Im pissed I missed it.

I was too busy deciphering the scene to stop and take a good pic. We were driving by at 25 mph, so I didn't get a solid opportunity.

Probably had an extra floor mat.

One would think a concrete wall in a parking garage would be reinforced well enough to prevent a freaking RAV4 from taking it out.

**Gonzo** · 04-13-2011, 04:58 PM

She was probably trying to off herself.
