London, January 18 : A British woman driver managed to put her car on top of her neighbours' as she stepped on the accelerator instead of the brake.

While making a three-point turn, the woman raced her 18,000-pound B Class Mercedes onto the roof of a Chrysler Neon parked in a driveway in Ashtead, Surrey.

Robert Den-Hartog, owner of the 10,000-pound-Chrysler, was left wide-eyed when both he and his wife Claire woke up after the noise.

"I couldn''t believe my eyes why I saw what happened," the Telegraph quoted Robert as saying.

"My wife and I had tea that night and just gone to bed at about 10.30pm, tired after work and I have to get up early.

"I was fast asleep when Claire woke up when she heard the noise and ran to the bedroom window.

"She said, ''you''re not going to believe this,'' so I ran over to the bedroom window and looked out. I just said: ''Holy Moses!'' and ran down stairs to help the woman out of the car," he added.

The 35-year-old continued: "When we were woken by it I was shocked and hoping that she wasn''t hurt.

"I wasn''t really angry but you never get the full money back form the insurance and I suppose now I''m going to have to look for a new car. I think mine is pretty much written off."

Though cops were called but no charges were made. (ANI)
