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.

An Alberta baseball team hosted a Guinness World Record attempt involving an Australian shepherd jumping across the backs of 56 people.
The Edmonton Riverhawks, an amateur summer collegiate team in the West Coast League, hosted the record attempt for the most jumps between people by a dog in one minute during a June 14 game.
Chardonnay, a 4-year-old Australian shepherd belonging to dog trainer Jennifer Fraser, bounded across the backs of 56 fans arranged in a straight line in the outfield.
The record’s rules set a time limit of one minute, but Chardonnay managed to set the record in just 16 seconds.
Fraser said she trained Chardonnay to jump onto her back a few years ago, and her trick repertoire has since expanded.
“Jumping across backs is just one of her many skills,” Fraser said.
Firefighters and an animal control officer in San Francisco came to the rescue of a wild parrot that got its head stuck between panes of glass on a third-floor balcony.
San Francisco Animal Care & Control said on social media that Officer Mullen responded alongside the San Francisco Fire Department on Sunday when a parrot was spotted with its head stuck between two panes of glass on the balcony of an under-construction building.
Firefighters went to the roof of a building and lowered a ladder to the balcony, where they were able to slide the bird upward to free its head.
“They wrapped the bird in a towel and handed it off to Officer Mullen, who checked out the bird,” the post said. “Thankfully they were fine: their wings, legs and neck were all OK, so Officer Mullen released the bird.”
The parrot made its way to a nearby tree to rest on a branch. UPI.com
