I just don't get how that's possible when attempting to park.

    Do you think they were able to drive up the wheel of the Focus that is sticking out?

    That's possible, but he'd have to floored it.

    Mind you, a lot of OAP crash incidents involving mistaking the brake for the throttle, and slamming the wrong pedal!

    Would love to see how much damage it caused the Focus

    Pictures taken at the scene show the Vauxhall with its front left wheel sticking through the smashed passenger's side window of the Ford.
