Not quite the parking space has hit a car driver in Baden-Wuerttemberg. Instead, the elderly woman ended up in the living room window of a family.

The police said the 85-year-old wanted to park in front of the house, giving too much gas. Then she crashed her car into the window.

At the house in Plochingen in the district of Esslingen, parts of the masonry were damaged in addition to the glass. The driver remained unhurt - as did the residents.

The family had been in the adjoining room with their children, a police spokesman said.
