A Maryland woman was taken for a wild ride Thursday when she stepped on the wrong pedal and sent her SUV onto railroad tracks in Rockville, according to police.
A photo posted on Facebook by the Rockville City Police Department shows the vehicle nearly perpendicular to the ground after crashing through a chain-link fence and landing on top of railroad tracks in the city.

Got a feeling I’m being punked, but I’ll say it anyway.
Simple. You pull it out by the back wheels, then attach the front wheels while it’s hanging there, then pull it up to level. You have to do it this way in order to put the car back on the parking lot horizontally.
Duh.
If I were setting driving test standards there would be only one test. You’d have to parallel park successfully on the first try.
The roads would be quite empty.

don’t some cars have parallel park settings so car parks itself?
You “always look on the bright side of life”, AND find the best in people. Kudos for your unique post.
Grew up in MD. Thought I’d seen every stupid thing that could be done in a car until I moved to New Mexico.
The rollover seems to be the state pastime. Even seen one in a driveway.
She may have been in a hurry. Looks like she made it in just under the wire.
Try delaware or new joisey.
Her decision could tilt one way or the other.
:)
My son rigged for a short while.
Those guys are magicians
Please, take a trip to Atlanta sometime. I’ve never seen driving like that. I think the people in Nepal drive better.
I once saw a Volvo leaned up on a tree. The driver went wide on a curve and rode right up the trunk, which fortunately was leaning away from his direction of travel.
The driver and his girlfriend were sitting there waiting for a tow truck, looking very sheepish.
This was on Hwy 84 near Skyline Blvd (Sky Londa) on the SF Peninsula.
Delaware and parts of southern NJ are bad. The people in northern NJ near NYC know exactly what they’re doing. They’ll edge into traffic with 1/4” between the cars and dare you to try and stop them. They’re experts at dealing with traffic because that’s 80% of their lives up there: driving in traffic.
It’s no way to live.
You can always tell a NYC driver from an upstate NY driver. The upstate driver will be going 110mph because he’s trying to get across a vast stretch of terrain quickly. The NYC driver will be going 110mph but weaving between cars with 3” to spare because those extra seconds mean more when you’re so much more important than everyone else.
If you want to see the worst driving anywhere in the world, you have to go to Atlanta. I’m convinced 0% of the drivers there have ever looked in a mirror or checked what’s next to them before changing lanes. None of them know how to turn or merge, and they all drive like they want to die.
An Asian woman or a foreigner may be likely. Could be wrong.
Different than rich Maryland residents?
I watched a woman make that exact same mistake. And when the vehicle didn’t respond as she anticipated she stomped on the pedal harder and wouldn’t let go. Really screwed her car up.
the first thing I noticed was how poor Maryland residents drive.
Different than rich Maryland residents?Drive up the Balt-Wash Parkway and you'll see that distinction, so long as it doesn't kill you.
Driving while asian...
I agree. They’re selfish.
If someone lets me in I assume they grew up in the South or the Midwest!
lol
