92-year-old's parking-lot smashing of nine cars caught on camera

At a Piggly Wiggly parking lot in Mayville, Wis., a 92-year-old man managed to crash into nine cars, two of which had passengers aboard, in a bizarre incident that lasted less than 60 seconds.

Russell Kerr, driving a Chrysler Pacifica, reportedly lodged his foot on the gas pedal as he reversed out of his parking space. From there, he proceeded to panic, tearing around the lot, bouncing from car to car, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake. Fortunately no one was injured, and according to WISN, the elderly man won't be cited.

His driver's license, however, may be under review, but police do not have the power to revoke it entirely; rather they can recommend to the DMV to have Kerr retested. Donald Gourlie was one of the nine owners who had their vehicle struck, telling WISN he was simply glad no one was hurt: “What are you going to do?" he said. "There isn't much you can say. It just happens."

Gourlie, who was at Piggy Wiggly buying a Valentine's Day card for his wife, estimates that $2,400 worth of damage was done to their vehicle. His humor, however, was still intact, writing on the card, "I love you. P.S. Sorry about your car."
