Driver slams brand new car into showroom wall
There are car accidents, and then there are totally avoidable, seriously unfortunate car accidents. A comedian has shared an example of an accident that falls into the latter category on Instagram.
The actor, Sunil Grover, shared a clip which showed a driver ramming his brand new Kia Carnival minivan into a showroom wall minutes after delivery.
The video is not a new one. It went viral on social media in June this year after it was uploaded on YouTube.
In the original clip, a dealership employee was seen explaining something to the driver. The car, with a couple of people sitting inside, then started moving. However, the driver immediately appeared to have lost control of the vehicle, ramming it straight into a wall.
The car hit the wall a couple of times more as the driver tried to reverse, leading some to speculate that he did not know how to control automatic cars.

A 98-year-old British World War II veteran, Harry Heasman officially became the world’s oldest wing walker when he stood atop a flying plane in England.
He spent more than 9 minutes atop the plane at a height of over 1,000 feet on Saturday at Duxford Airfield in Cambridge.
A Guinness World Records adjudicator was on hand to officially certify Heasman as the world’s oldest wing walker.
“I have dreamed of doing this since I was a young child and to finally live that dream at 98 years old and to be a Guinness World Records title holder is beyond anything I could have ever imagined,” Heasman told Guinness World Records.
The nonagenarian said he spent 11 months working with a physical trainer to get his body and mind ready for the attempt.
His record attempt raised money for the Lennox Children’s Cancer Fund and served as a tribute to his wife and son, who both died after battles with cancer.
“Harry is proof that it is never too late to chase a dream. At 98 years old, what he has achieved is nothing short of extraordinary. Over the last few months, I’ve had the privilege of getting to know him and seeing the determination behind this challenge,” said Lindsey Bidwell, a representative from the Lennox Children’s Cancer Fund.
