I guess it was a brake failure. Happens every day, usually with trucks and buses. And now with small cars even? A disease? A virus? 😱 (A brain disease🥴)

Far more likely to be accelerator jammed to the floor. Hitting the wall at the speed necessary to demolish it and have the car follow through leads one to think he was going way too fast for a car park in the first place. Maybe got the pedals mixed up..? Or foot jammed, dropped his phone etc.

Another case of when it's better to be a lucky driver than a good one 😂

Maybe too sober and got cocky......if she'd been drunk she would have paid more attention to what she was doing.

It takes a special level of driving skill, and concentration to crash through a wall in a garage and dump your car below, unless it was a heart attack or brake failure. 

 

Not really.

Just look at what the wall was made of, based on the photo provided.

 

Looks like some sort of plaster board, having two layers of board.

 

Should have been reinforced concrete. But, apparently NOT.

I'm not surprised the driver had only minor injuries.

 

Using the equation F=ma, we can calculate the force and v1 and v-final, before impact.

 

Approximate speed in MPH is 30 miles per hour.

 

I just hope the driver was wearing a seat belt, which is mandatory.

Building Inspector checking Car Park Wall strengths !    Lol.

Look at the barrier wall on the floor above it.  It  ends with a large gap with no barrier wall.  Safety is their priority???

We can only hope that you do not drive at all, since there seem to be serious problems with your eyesight.

I love it when people write scientific stuff that they do not understand. F = ma will only tell you the force the vehicle exerts on the ground, if you know its mass. I think you will need v^2 = u^2 + 2fs. Good luck. I think you will find that it is about 17 m/hr.
