PHILADELPHIA (WHDH) — A driver in Philadelphia is blaming a squirrel for causing him to lose control of his vehicle and slam into a row of parked cars.
Josh Badilla, who witnessed the incident, said the driver blamed the rodent for his travel woes.
“He said he was coming down the street and he saw a squirrel,” Badilla said. “He thought he was gonna hit it, so he swerved and lost control and got banged up.”
The driver escaped the crash with only a few scratches, Badilla added.
It is unclear if the driver will face any charges.
