Fire crews had to be called to the scene of the crash because the BMW was leaking petrol
The 79-year-old driver's confusion has caused as much as $109,000 in damage. The BMW appears to have avoided significant damage and might be repairable. Local police have reportedly suspended the man's driver's license. A black BMW has been badly damaged and part of a house trashed after a crash in the Swiss municipality of Schlossrued. The incident occurred on May 22 at approximately 3:30 p.m.
As for the BMW, we can see the windshield has been smashed and the passenger side likely took a hefty hit from the roof, although images don’t show the full extent of the damage here. Surprisingly, the driver’s side looks to have escaped without too much damage. According to Bluewin, local authorities responded to the scene and believe the elderly driver may have mistaken the brake with the accelerator pedal.
