When they ran over to check on him the engine was still running and screaming at several thousand RPM. He claimed his cane got tangled up in the pedals and accidentally depressed the throttle way down.
The funny thing to me, though (forgive me for finding something funny in this) was that the shape of the hole in the wall was just like in the cartoons: you could tell it was a passenger car, and could even see where the mirrors went through.
Just like Bugs Bunny/Road Runner -
