The driver of an Audi A4 in Wellesley, Massachusetts, has discovered an innovative new way to secure a parking spot close to the door of a grocery store, even when it appears that none are available: by parking sideways between two other vehicles

Few details are available relating to this incident, but Wellesley Police shared images and videos of the aftermath of the A4’s monster truck-like exploits on X, formerly Twitter. While one person was hurt, their injuries were only minor.

The incident occurred outside the Roche Brothers supermarket, and based on the images, it would appear that the Audi jumped up over a curbed green space dividing two rows of parking spots, and onto the hood of a BMW X5, before coming to a rest between it and a Chevrolet Equinox.

The images indicate that the impact was significant enough to deploy the airbags in the Audi, and the vehicle’s position made it impossible for the driver to exit. Consequently, they required assistance from the Wellesley Fire Department for rescue. Subsequently, they were transported to the hospital in an ambulance for further medical attention.

An overhead view of the incident reveals that the green space between the two parked vehicles (and behind the Audi) contained a sidewalk in the middle. It’s incredibly fortunate that no pedestrians were on it at the time of the incident.

Additionally, the same shot of the area also shows that there wasn’t much space behind the Audi for it to build up speed before this accident, making it impressive that it was able to make its way over the BMW’s hood. Whether this was a case of pedal confusion or something else remains to be clarified, but it’s another testament to the impressive forces cars experience.

In order to clean up this crash site, authorities used ropes attached to a tow truck to pull the A4 further onto its side, allowing the X5 to back away from it. The Audi was then lowered back onto its wheels and trailered away.
