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.

How old is that house? Maybe the house owners could sue the weiner for....

Funny, my son is a police around D.C. and pulled the wienermobile over once for a driving infraction. Passerbys started booing at him. Now see what happens if you don't correct those bad drivers. LOL

"That's a good way to avoid accidents," said Bristol.

Wienermobile apologizes, says it was grief-stricken at Oscar's death.

Best. News. Story. Ever.

How could you come home to this and be angry?

I was involved in an accident while a passenger in the Wienermobile. Riding shotgun outside Kansas City in a cold light rain. Suddenly turned to ice and cars started sliding everywhere. Our vehicle managed to avoid hitting anyone, and we had come to a stop when we were suddenly struck from behind - beneath the giant orange extension that is the back of the hot dog. A woman in her sixties stepped out from behnd the wheel. this was her fist accident, ever. In the back seat were her parents, silent and gawking at the giant icon, just inches from the windshield.

True story.

Sounds like a Harry situation.

>a cold light rain. Suddenly turned to ice

Had the vehicle experienced any shrinkage?

[KCFreedom]

It could have been worse; it could have been up the coal chute.

"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."

Apparently the driver was not experienced with backing it up doggie style.

Thanks for that!
