Woman Crashes Mustang into Wall



Here’s another perfect example of why everyone doesn't deserve to own or drive a Mustang.

In this case, a female driver in Glendale, CA lost control of the car and wound up crashing it into a building. The woman claims she has no idea how the accident happened, but I'm betting her arrest for suspicion of drunk driving might be a giveaway.

Luckily, no one was hurt ... besides the Mustang.

Read the rest on The Mustang Source homepage.

It isn't always DUI even though this incident might have been. It's common for people to hit the gas instead of the brake pedal, especially in FL with the older crowd. One old man went through a bank wall setting off the alarm and causing general panic. The stories in FL alone are endless with similar incidents.

The same thing happened in Morganton,NC a few years ago where a eldery person hit the gas instead of his breakes and went through a glass window at a local pharmacy.

Yep, same thing in SoCal in a Tesla. Funny enough though, we pulled logs immediately on that car and showed the owner's husband that her accelerator pedal was being pushed 100% at the time of the accident. Literally floored.

While agreed that it is not always driver malfunction, in this case it most def was. If you cant handle the car, dont buy the car. And really really dont drink and then try to drive it! She should never have been behind the wheel in the first place and is extremely lucky there was not a pedestrian there....

I was 16 in my dad's pickup driving a date for the first time. Came up to a stop light that was red, was looking over at her and smiling, and pressed the brake. And we sped up. My brain said, "we're speeding up! slow down! PUSH HARDER!" So I did for a split second before I switched from the little head to the big head and slammed on the actual brake pedal. Nothing like screeching the tires to a stop literally inches from the car in front of you and slinging the girl all over the cab in the process to make a GREAAAAT first impression.

She didn't go out with me again.

on my prom night dad let me take his new yorker for the first time with my date. Having driven a manual only (my car was a stick), i accidentally floored the accelerator in reverse, thinking it was the clutch. went through the neighbors hedge across the street.

He drove me to grad, and lectured me the next day (I think)
