Pedestrians lucky to escape debris from rooftop accident

From DNA Info:

A car crashed into a the wall of a rooftop parking lot on Austin Street Sunday evening, ripping a hole in it and sending dozens of bricks falling onto a busy sidewalk Sunday evening, officials and witnesses said.

The incident occurred just after 8 p.m. atop a two-story commercial building housing several businesses, including Exo Cafe, a Lucille Roberts gym and PM Pediatrics.

Sources at the scene said that the valet accidentally hit the gas instead of the break, causing the car to smash into the wall.

A representative for the parking lot declined to comment.

No one was injured in the crash and the driver refused medical attention, but the falling bricks damaged three cars, according to fire and police officials.

spelling & grammar police
there was a break BUT it was in the wall - not in the car :-)
you step on the "brake" to stop the car
any surveillance video?
i am sure that the car actually accelerated on its own

Did this boob attempt to imitate the scene from tom cruise's mission impossible, you know that integrated bmw commercial showing ad nauseaum showing the car backing up and leaping?
