Rain (dpa / lby) - A 77-year-old woman in Lower Bavaria drove her car backwards with a loss of 25,000 euros.

Instead of driving forward in a driveway in the rain, she accidentally set back 100 meters, the police announced on Wednesday.

"Across a street, through an adjacent garden, again across a street and then against a car and a tree," said a spokesman.

The reason was probably an operator error.

At the tree, the elderly woman came to a standstill with her car, slightly injured.

However, two driven fences and a distribution box did not survive the Tuesday afternoon journey.
