News Dodge Charger Goes Knight Rider at Boynton Beach Car Wash

[ky]

Something that happened in my city a few hundred feet from where I was.

A Dodge Charger apparently decided to play Knight Rider's KITT at a Boynton Beach car wash yesterday when a man was "thrown" from the car and it kept on going, according to Boynton Beach police.

The cops say a 68-year-old employee of the Main Street Car Wash in Boynton Beach was driving a white Dodge Charger out of the car-wash bay to be dried, but somehow the car managed to leave the business completely.

The man pressed down on the gas, and the car spun 360 degrees. In the process, the car went through some bushes and landed on East Boynton Beach Boulevard.

While on Boynton Beach Boulevard, police say the vehicle went into another 360-degree spin, resulting in the man's being "thrown" out of the car and onto the street.

Driverless, the car completed another 360-degree rotation in the middle of the street.

That's when a 22-year-old man who was driving by jumped out of his car and into the driver's seat of the Charger and brought the car to a stop.

Police say the 68-year-old man "thrown" from the Charger was taken to Delray Medical Center with serious injuries, although he is in stable condition.

Misleading title: KITT would never harm a human. That's KARR's fare.

Heres another car accident that would make you want to say,"oops".

Car aficionados, you might want to avert your eyes.

The wealthy French Riviera city state of Monaco was the scene of a pileup involving five luxury cars with an estimated value of more than $1.1 million.

The collision, involving a Bentley Azure (worth an estimated $400,000), a Mercedes S Class ($120,000), a Ferrari F430 ($230,000), an Aston Martin Rapide ($230,000) and a Porsche 911 ($130,000), occurred in front of Monaco's Place du Casino, according to Sky News.

The British TV network reported that the incident began when the Bentley scraped the side of the Mercedes before plowing into the Ferrari. Then, the Bentley proceeded to run into the Aston Martin and the Porsche.

Hundreds of tourists quickly descended on the scene, snapping photos of the drivers' misfortune.

The Daily Mail newspaper quoted Ruud Poot, editor of European motoring website Autogespot, as saying: "You probably couldn’t find a worse place in the world to crash your car than outside Monaco’s Place du Casino in the middle of the summer."

The repair bill for the vehicles was estimated at around $160,000, reports said.

With luck like this, let's hope the driver of the Bentley avoided the nearby casino.

This is why you take your powerful rear-wheel-drive sports cars to a self-service car wash--otherwise someone who has no idea how to handle the power will do this kind of thing.
