Toronto, Ontario – May 30, 2019 — From a driver going on a smashing spree to the creation of a two-sided vehicle, and a wild-goose chase in LA, Collision Repair has prepared the top three unbelievable car-related news of the week.
1. Smashing Spree
A 25-year-old Pickering man was arrested after going on a smashing spree in East York with his black Mercedes sedan on Tuesday night. He crashedhis vehicle into several businesses including stores, and dealerships as well as a community centre. It wasn’t until 11:30 p.m. when police officers said they received a call from the Ismaili Community Centre that a vehicle had reportedly smashed through the front doors. After the driver crashed into the community centre he decided to do the same to a nearby Home Depot, Home Sense, Staples, Marshalls and even a Mazda dealership and Mercedes dealership. The driver left a trail, and soon after police were able to locate the him. They found the suspect in Scarborough and arrested him, where he is now facing a long list of charges including dangerous driving and mischief to property.
2. The Ultimate Car
89-year-old Ontario mechanic Bill Brown created the ultimate vehicle. Brown first got his idea of this unique car from an auto mechanic magazine when he was a young kid. He thought “I’m going to build the same thing one day.” Sure enough he did. In 1984 he owned his own auto-wrecking company, where he received two damaged vehicles. One was a 1978 Dodge Omni and the other was a 1979 Plymouth Horizon. He then decided to cut each of the cars in half and weld each half together. This created a vehicle that could drive in both directions with two engines – an automatic option and a standard option. If both the engines are running the car can drive forwards, backwards and side to side, he told CBC News. Brown also noted that this car is wicked to do doughnuts in.

3. Wild Goose Chase
Last Tuesday L.A. Police were on a wild goose chase with an intoxicated woman driving a stolen RV. The driver had two dogs in her lap and was zipping through the San Fernando Valley at approximately 60 mph. She crashed into a number of vehicles and a palm tree, severely damaging the RV to the point that the windshield was pretty well gone. One of the dogs decided he had enough and jumped through the large hole in the windshield running away from the madness. Finally, the driver lost control while performing a left-hand turn and collided into one last vehicle. The driver got out of the car and tried to getaway on foot but didn’t make it very far. She was arrested and is facing a number of charges including, driving under the influence, felony evading and felony hit-and-run.
