BMW misses parking spot, lands on Jaguar, Mercedes

http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/06/22/12355943-bmw-misses-parking-spot-lands-on-jaguar-mercedes?lite

The SUV was on the third floor of a parking garage around 11:15 a.m. at 20 E. Randolph St. when the driver suddenly hit the gas, said Vicky Baftiri, who witnessed the incident.

The crash happened on the same floor as an Enterprise Rent-A-Car. A clerk at the kiosk told Baftiri the man was returning the rented vehicle.

This should not have been possible. Even a grossly negligent driver like this should not have been able to land on other cars.
