Somehow the 92-year-old man that smoked nine cars in a Piggly Wiggly parking lot in Mayville, Wisconsin will not be cited. Video shows him driving completely out of control and repeatedly smashing into other vehicles throughout the parking lot. Despite the actions, apparently the guy is getting let off the hook.
According to the Associated Press, his foot was simply stuck:
Police Chief Christopher MacNeill says the episode in the Piggly Wiggly lot in Mayville last Friday was simply an accident. He says the man pulled out of his parking spot, got his foot stuck on the accelerator, panicked and lost control of his vehicle. Two of the nine vehicles he struck were occupied. No one was hurt.
Yes, it’s tough to ridicule an elderly gentlemen if his foot was actually stuck, but it still is baffling that someone does not even receive a minimal fine for putting people in legit danger. Sure hope this guy doesn’t “panic” while behind the wheel again.
