踏違 外国でもあるんだねぇ。。。。

英国のヤフーをチェックしていたら・・・・

いきなりニュースのコンテンツで飛び込んできた衝撃的な画像。

なになに


「67歳のラルフ・ハドソンさんが・・・ブレーキペダルの代わりに誤ってアクセルを踏んで、駐車場のレンガ壁を。。。。」

日本でも、コンビニに突っ込んだとか、駐車場から落下したというハナシを良く聞くが、同じ様に英国でもあるんだ・・・と妙に納得した次第。

どうしたら、こうした事故を防げるんでしょうかねぇ。


英国発のニュースでした。

It's a parking manoeuvre 67-year old Ralph Hudson will never forget, when he mistakenly pressed the accelerator instead of the brake pedal and nearly plunged seven stories to the ground through a car park's brick wall.

Luckily for Mr Hudson his Mercedes C-Class was left dangling half out of the wall and he was able to get out of the car. The cars below were not so fortunate and seven were badly damaged by the falling bricks.

Mr Hudson was parking in the Bank of America car park in Tulsa, Oklahoma when his foot slipped and caused the car to reverse out of control.

Corporal David Crow, of the Tulsa Police Department, said: "We received a report about a car that had hit the side of a building, but didn't realise we'd be dealing with a Mercedes hanging halfway out of the seventh floor."

No one was hurt in the accident and Corporal Crow commented: "I was amazed when we were able to drive the car back into the car park as the rear wheels still had enough grip."

Fire rescue crews arrived to clear up the fallen bricks and to make the wall safe again.

The police added that they would not be issuing a ticket to a shaken Mr Hudson.
