It takes quite a lot of skill, or lack thereof, to crash a automotive you are not even driving. On this case, a towing attempt gone horribly flawed resulted within the vehicle intended to be towed crashing right into a restaurant not only once, but twice. The Pierce County Sheriff’s Office not only tells us the way it all went down, however it shared security camera footage that shows the entire thing.
On July 30, a maroon Mercury Montego parked in front of AutoZone in University Place, Washington. The driving force left it there overnight, telling employees that he can be back to tow it away because it wasn’t running well. He returned at 3:45 a.m. in a white Honda Pilot with a tow dolly to follow through on his promise. It wasn’t until 5:15 that the driving force began pulling the automotive not on the dolly, but using a tow rope, which snapped before he even got out of the lot. He tried to secure the automotive again, but failed epically at 5:50 when the automotive rolled back across the lot and crashed into the Pho and Teriyaki restaurant next to the AutoZone. The artificial a valiant effort to stop the automotive from the skin using muscles and sheer force of will, but to no avail. He jumped away from the automotive right before the crash and appeared to avoid injury. That will be bad enough, but things got much worse.
But wait, there’s more
The Honda Pilot then pulled up in front of the restaurant, and the driving force attached the tow rope once more. He succeeded in pulling the automotive to the opposite side of the lot, just for it to roll back across the lot and crash into the restaurant a second time. Once more, he pulled it away, just for the Montego to get caught up along a retaining wall and curb because of an amazingly long tow rope, leaving him unable to manage it. At this point, he abandoned the automotive, which was now likely damaged beyond any repair you could possibly buy at AutoZone, and left the scene.
There are such a lot of questions here. Why didn’t he use the dolly he was towing behind the Pilot? Why did he proceed to trust the tow rope that kept failing with ever more disastrous results? Why did he use such an extended tow rope? Why didn’t the lady who got out of the Pilot throughout the third attempt help in any respect?
Also, kudos to the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office for using the right soundtrack for this video: “Yakety Sax,” higher often known as the Benny Hill theme. They’re investigating this fiasco as a hit-and-run, which is acceptable, and amazing considering the automotive that hit the restaurant didn’t actually have a driver. This joins our list of the dumbest automotive crashes we have ever seen.
