BERLIN (Reuters) - A German woman caused more than 100,000 euros ($128,300) of damage when an attempt to back out of her spot in a parking garage ended with her car on its roof and four other vehicles damaged, police said Monday.

Police said the woman reversed sharply out of her spot on the upper level of a multi-story parking in the southwestern town of Kirchen, writing off a parked Nissan and damaging a Mitsubishi next to it, police said.

She then accelerated forward, speeding through her original parking place and over a low protective wall -- pitching her Audi some six meters (20 feet) down on to a lower level of the car park.

1. You think that's funny, I saw a COP do the same thing!

I was in El Paso to testify at a restitution hearing. When I was leaving the courthouse, I saw all this commotion. When I exited the garage, I could see the back end of a police car hanging off the 2nd story of the parking garage. Whoops! I'll bet that cop NEVER hears the end of it! :D

3. How fast was she travelling when she hit the ground

Physics problem.

Anyone want to take a shot at the speed her "crash" occurred with a fall of 20 feet?

"Pitching her Audi". :evilgrin:

6. How do you say "I can explain" in German?

No doubt that was what she said to the first person responding.
