Driver reversed into classroom

Crash scene /Europics

It looks like this driver really needs to go back to school - after she reversed into a classroom in Lucerne, Switzerland.

arianne Meier, 64, told police her foot slipped while she was parking and hit the throttle, sending her plunging through the school's glass walls at high speed.

After demolishing a classroom entrance, she finally came to a halt balanced on the Unterlochli School's staircase.

"Luckily the school was closed at the time. That area would normally have been crowded with children going to and from class.

"The driver had minor injuries and was treated for shock," said a police spokesman.

A bit strange to have her first name not capitalized. Is that how the Swiss do things?

I thought that, but mistakes are common here!

Hardly a classrom, is it? Lucky escape, it seems.
