See that Chrysler Pacifica in the picture? The one that just took the nose clean off of the Ford C-Max and looks to be hauling ass out of the parking lot? Yeah…he’s not done yet. A 92-year-old gentleman by the name of Russell Kerr was leaving the Mayville, Wisconsin Piggly Wiggly parking lot on February 13th, 2015 when his foot became somehow wedged the throttle wide open, sending the Pacifica straight into a Saturn, a Buick, and a Pontiac before he threw it into reverse, backing into a Grand Cherokee. From there he threw the Chrysler back into drive, took the nose clean off of the Ford and drove around, smacking an F-150 before disappearing off-camera.
Mayville Police Chief Christopher MacNeill said “My first thought was, ‘You only see these situations when someone is trying to elude police or in incidents of road rage.” Kerr won’t be cited for the accident and currently is being allowed to retain his driving license, as Wisconsin police don’t have the authority to suspend a license. However, a copy of the police report is being sent to the state DMV to see if Kerr needs to be retested.
It’s almost a shame that Lohnes sent his Pacifica to the great beyond…it looks pretty stout for a demo-derby ride!

I wonder if this is the guy who went banzia thru the car wash weeks ago? Maybe this is his rental while the other car gets fixed?
not being charged and retaining his licence….uh, what??????????
Glad nobody was hurt since it happened in a parking lot where folks are walking to and from their vehicles. It’s gotta be a tough call for the authorities on whether he keeps his license. It might be his only means of getting back and forth to the stores and such. Gotta feeling with his age this isn’t going to turn out well.
But that blind and deaf wizard sure plays a mean pinball…
that deaf, dumb and blind kid*
D’oh, was trying to quote the song from memory.
My Dad pushed back for 6 years before he stopped driving , his response was so slow and delayed he started over shooting the turn into the driveway. My mom took out a $1mil liability insurance policy on him. It sucked all around. The best day ever was when his beloved ’84 Mercedes stopped running,I MAY have “broke” it.
He had a stroke in 2000 and his mental state just dropped more and more, he never could figure out what I did to the car. Then he just forgot about it.
Looks like he got 10 to me…………. My father-in-law finally gave up the keys after he hit a curb hard enough in his Impala to take our a wheel, tire and some suspension parts. He said he could see “anything bigger than a cow”…….
