BUFFALO, Minn. – A teenager taking her driver’s test crashed through the driver’s examination station before she even got on the road.

The Star Tribune reported that the 17-year-old crashed a 2014 Chevy Equinox into the building Wednesday afternoon in Buffalo, Minnesota.

The driver was not hurt, but a 60-year-old woman working as the license examiner sustained non-critical injuries and the vehicle was significantly damaged.

It happened after the teenager put the Equinox in drive instead of reverse at the start of the test, according to the paper.

“This led to the vehicle lurching forward when she accelerated, causing the vehicle to move forward and over the curb, striking the building housing the exam station office,” according to police, who noted that the accident caused “significant damage to the vehicle and building.”

Nobody was inside the office during the crash. The teen driver will not be charged.

It clearly jumped in her way from out of nowhere. There's no reasonable way she could have avoided it.

Imagine that.
The other person has 'injuries'.
No doubt some suing going to follow.

Can you imagine how upset she must be :lol:

My wife almost had the cops called on her for a hit and run when she was learning to drive. Accidentally gunned it in reverse and knocked over a fence. She was crying so hard, her dad just took her home to calm down for a bit, then made her go back and apologize. The guy was super nice but said he was about to call the RCMP :lol: In the end he wouldn't even accept cash to rebuild it because he was going to tear it down anyways. It's funny now, 15 years later.

This story is a bit more serious though.

From the Buffalo Minnesota Police Department page:
"NEWS RELEASE REGARDING CRASH ON 03/21/2018****
At approximately 2:00 PM on 03/21/2018 the Buffalo Police Department responded to report of a motor vehicle crashing into a building in the 10 block of 1st Ave S. Investigation into the incident revealed that a 17 year old female from Monticello, MN, was in the process of taking her road test at the driver's license exam station located there when she inadvertently put the vehicle in drive instead of reverse. This led to the vehicle lurching forward when she accelerated, causing the vehicle to move forward and over the curb, striking the building housing the exam station office. The impact caused significant damage to the vehicle and building. The license examiner, a 60 year old female from Buffalo, MN, was transported by ambulance to the Buffalo Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The 17 year old driver was not injured and no one in the building was injured. No charges are pending."

that's what you get with female drivers and female driving inspectors and evaluators :shrug:
