Must have been a ferrell chicken.
this looks like de work of a……….disgruntled ex-employee??? lolol get’um granny!!
Couldn’t wait to get to that sale.
Check Cell Phone Records…
Can’t be used as evidense since my boy showed his to the judge after the cop LIED under oath and threw them out. Here, your guilty until proven innocent and they just throw all the evidence out…unless you have a gun, then you get off.
LOL!!! SHE THOUGHT IT WAS A DRIVE THRU LIKE IBC
why wait in line?
DRIVESHRU
oh my goodness I hope the lady is ok but this was a good afternoon laugh
oh yea Granny’s funds were on hold she said “I AM GOING TO GET MY MONEY” need waiting in line for me lol
Does TCD still do the parallel parking test?
A granny with to much of this heat to her brain is like a teenager that’s had to much alcohol. This is the results!!!
We should outlaw the sun! All these damn mind altering substances. If she was on weed everything would have been in slow mo and she woulda made it fine, plus its a bit hard to mount a sidewalk at 4mph. Decriminlize the ganj so we can all be ganja ninjas!
Prolly a teenager who grew up on Xbox. In the real world, can’t make de nip.
LOFL
Lol dat weren’t makin no nip, that was str8 lost of control at a speed of 7km/h lol. Come on granny na how u lose control at such a low speed. *cop says* pass me the breathalizer please.
Im always amazed how bernews allows people to post such garbage on this site. This very well could of been one of these idiots mother or granmother involved in this unfortunate situation and on the other hand someone could of been seriously hurt or even killed. people in this country need to grow up and stop this nonsense.Its always a joke until it falls on your doorstep….
Wow …. U have no sense of humor. Yes it could have been dangerous but thankfully no one was hurt. So now it’s just plain funny.
Sure hope granny home … Having a dark n stormy. And maybe at bit of a laugh at her adventure.
For rizzle, it states she wasn’t injured, thankfully. Laughing is healthy and greatly reduces the risk of shingles (not sure if that’s how its spelled). Sh!t happens, I have my own embarrasing moments, let’s just laugh it up and carry on. I’m 25 and I’m even feeling the heat these days, looks like an honest mistake…or she really wanted to beat someone into that parking spot lol.
I agree. I have a wonderful sense of humour myself but I don’t find this incident funny. First of all, the driver (who I hear is elderly)was probably very shaken up by this. Secondly, anyone walking there could have been seriously hurt-a child could even have been killed.
If this was to happy to any of the immature posters here, they wouldn’t find it funny at all. Yes, there are times to make light of things but I don’t believe this is one of them.
‘happen’
i think the oba caused that,,,,
Nope, it was the PLP, they’ve crashed everything else including the economy.
It was the Cars Fault,
A statement from Rayclan to Gibbons ‘we’re coming after some of that Kia business now that HWP’s out of the way .
Heard she was a diabetic and that her blood sugar got low i feel bad for the lady luckily no one was hurt
@ Come correct
I hear you.
So it is a trend. ‘They’ have lied under oath in front of me too.
They refused to even hear the witnesses who came forward to support the truth.
They had to put their untrue story forward and it was never going to be true.
But they still insisted on prosecuting the case and lying with no conscience or even entertaining the human witnesses who came forward! No credibility. Also to hear one or two cops argue with two others about why they should do the right thing, then hear the bad cop say he is going do wrong, and to see the others allow it.
Well, lorl. I used to think there were good cops, I even know a couple, but at this point, there are no words to explain what is up with that? I’m jus saying. You are spot on.
Just sick of injustice on the innocent while murderers walk away, even after making a mockery of the court. I guess my boy should have had “a lot of tricks up his sleeve”. The cop said he had his phone to his right ear, that’s pretty specific, while he may not be completely innocent last I checked you can’t make calls on an ipod touch so why would you put it to your ear? So where are the cops lying under oath to convict known gang memebers? My guess its got something to do with fear or money.
Funny that a elderly lady does this n no comment about her being under the influence WOW I’m gonna assume like every other accident like this n say or thing she was drunk lol. Hope d police checked to see if she had alcohol in her system like everyone else!
