Driver accidentally plunges car into river after car wash

Driver accidentally plunges car into river after car wash

A simple rinse down was not enough for this driver, who opted to get a 'full clean' instead by plunging her vehicle into a river.

Whatever angle we look at it, we still cannot figure out how this accident managed to happen. 

Video footage has surfaced of a car plunging into a river. A 64-year-old woman accidentally stepped on the accelerator instead of the brake when she was leaving a car wash, Indian Express reports.  

Granted, there were no barriers or railings to prevent her from driving into the river, but as a driver, getting the two pedals mixed up seems rather strange.

Hackensack police on scene with Hackensack fire and towing company to remove vehicle," the City of Hackensack Fire Department said on their Facebook page.

Perhaps she wasn't quite happy with the basic car wash and wanted a full clean instead? Either way, this is crazy!
