Customers at a Trader Joe’s parking lot in Claremont, California, were up for a surprise on Monday evening when the driver of a Honda Accord managed to make a simple exit out of a parking space into a huge and expensive mess when he landed on top of a first gen Lexus SC.
Local news site Claremont-Courier reported that according to eyewitnesses, Rod Kamitsuka backed his 1994 Honda Accord out of the parking and then somehow, the sedan moved forward hitting a handicapped parking sign, which acted as a ramp launching the car into the air and on to the roof of a 1998 Lexus SC 300.
Claremont resident Ruth Chung, who at the time was shopping inside the store, owned the Lexus. The woman was said to be very upset about the accident as the car had less than 60,000 miles (under 100,000km). “It’s almost a classic,” she told reporters.
Even though both cars were severely damaged, fortunately, no one was hurt.
