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.

Excellent. Well worth the click.

The driver should be charged with "not breaking and entering."

It's difficult to believe that Oscar Mayer entrusted one of these behemoths to a 22 yr. old driver! A far more experienced driver would have a difficult time with this thing and my best guess is that it requires the skills of someone experienced with a semi. 22 is too young and inexperienced for a Weinermobile and Oscar Mayer should have know that! You get what you pay for!

Knowing the difference between "Drive" and "Reverse" on the gear shift shouldn't be age-related.

[BlueZoo]

I agree! It shouldn't be but it is! It seems the young and the old have a particular problem with these two gears but mostly it's the elderly. I can't count the number of articles I've read in the last year re older drivers ramming into storefronts because they didn't realize what gear they were in!

I was a better driver at 22 than I am today. At least when I wanted to be. Better eyesight, faster reflexes, stronger arms and legs --- and a lot more practice sliding around corners.

I wish I had an Oscar Meyer Weinermobile.

[armillariella]

The driver thought the wiener was in reverse...

Yeah. What woman hasn't heard THAT excuse?!

[Tom Joad]

...this won't be too difficult to fix...it'll shrink soon enough...

[bibimimi]

I'm sure he's not going to relish paying for the necessary repairs.

[henrypapillon]

Boo ! You hot dog! that was a terrible pun. you're such a weinie!

[leafericson]

That was a terrible BUN

[lazercat2008]

If he puts it in reverse he can catsup with the rest of the Weinermoblies.

[hegdehog]
