Oscar Mayer Wienermobile Crashes Into Wisconsin Home

MOUNT PLEASANT, Wis. — One southern Wisconsin homeowner is probably not in love with the Oscar Mayer wiener. The famed hot dog's Wienermobile crashed Friday into the deck and garage of a home in Mount Pleasant, about 35 miles south of Milwaukee.

Police said the driver was trying to turn the Wienermobile around in the driveway and thought she was moving in reverse. But she instead went forward and hit the home. It sat in the driveway as if it were stuck in the garage Friday afternoon.

No one was home and no one was injured. No citations were immediately issued.

Both the home and vehicle suffered moderate damage, which Oscar Mayer spokeswoman Sydney Lindner says insurance will cover.

Police hadn't been able to speak to the homeowner as of early Friday evening.

For a "weiner" stuck in your "garage" more than four hours seek prompt medical help.

Other side fx may include....

"The driver lurched the vehicle forward instead of backing out of the driveway, hitting Krupp's deck and cracking the foundation of his house."

Ugh. That's the one move my wife won't let me try.

Standard Hitchcockian device.

On the plus-side, Mount Pleasant should have a new hot dog stand on that corner in about nine months.

Very good!

The EMTs were called but only after the wiener had been lodged for four hours.

Clearly the driver was not thinking about baseball.

Would that be the same Four Hours that erectile dysfunction medications warn us about?

woops; apologies to wadenelson for prior reference above that i missed.

The Weinermobile entering the house without consent is still funny (as none injured) but it's sad that, along with about twenty other stories, she gets placement on HuffPo's front page above Walter Cronkite's passing.

So much for abstinence:
The house should have 'Just Said No'.

Have seen the 'Mobile on several occasions- the company hires fairly young people (look like college interns) to work with the vehicle.
While I'm certain that they've had some training, it's not like it's being driven by a professional driver.
Bet that the driver brought it 'home' (to their home, home of a friend) to show it off- and then ....
Hilarity reigned supreme.....;op

Well, I kept my promise. I only put the tip in.

Our friend's daughter drove one of the weiner-mobiles during a summer in college. That's who drives these things...kids who intern for Oscar Meyer.
