A wild viral video captured a minivan exiting a car wash next to a busy street. However, the confused driver sent the white Toyota Sienna rolling off a ledge and into traffic. As unlikely as it sounds, the wayward van smashed a fire hydrant in the process, showering the road and sidewalk in water.

It was like something from a comedy film. Within seven seconds, a driver turned their minivan into a total loss after leaving a drive-through car wash. Worse yet, the car wash business had security cameras and they caught the whole thing. 

A driver in a white, second-generation Toyota Sienna completed a touch car wash. However, the minivan driver misjudged the exit. As a result, the motorist took the turn much too wide. Unfortunately, the boundary of the exit area was a little red curb separating a driveway exit from a five-foot drop.

Shockingly, the driver sailed directly over the low curb and into the air. A moment later, the white minivan dropped onto the road below. The van’s passenger-side front fascia made contact with the road, prompting the family vehicle to roll over into traffic.

Fortunately, the badly damaged minivan stops rolling and comes to a rest on its roof. Unfortunately for the owner, the Kelley Blue Book (KBB) value of an early-model second-gen Sienna is around $5,000 for a 2006 iteration of the popular people carrier. 

What’s more, the video shows a jet of water after the Toyota Sienna plummets over the red curb. The vehicle smashed into a fire hydrant on its way to the ground. The impact destroyed the hydrant, sending a plume of high-pressure water into the air. Check out the viral video with over 873,000 likes below!
