Two great stories about car crashes

The first comes to us from CNN.com. Click here for story. It's a heartwarming tale of an elderly couple who decide to purchase a new car. And when the wife decides to take the car for a test drive, she accidentally puts it in reverse and hits: 1.) her husband; 2.) the salesman; 3.) another car; 4.) a tree; and finally 5.) a wall. Where the car came to rest and the airbag deployed.

The second I heard on Wait Wait Don't Tell Me. Click here for story. In this yarn, a 48 year old man drove his car to the DMV to renew his license. But more accurately he drove his car into the DMV. The car jumped the curb and hit the building, denting a wall. Apparently the man was heavily medicated and was unable to control his car. However, the man was so well medicated that he calmly backed his car up, parked and entered the DMV as if nothing had happened. Then he paid his renewal fee of $25 and renewed his license.

    I also heard it on WWDTM. Did you catch Wha'd Ya Know? A question about the same event was part of one of the quizzes.
