Twitter user Max Zavian captured the scene at the Bergen Town Center on Tuesday, and his video of a silver sedan resting atop a black Toyota — along with his witty caption calling parking in New Jersey “a sport” — quickly went viral:

Here’s what happened, according to a spokesperson for the Maywood Police Department: a driver accidentally hit the gas while reaching for the brakes, drove through some bushes, jumped the curb, and landed on the parked Toyota, per NJ.com.

According to Zavian, the Toyota owner emerged from the mall less than a half-hour after the accident and did not take it well:

Honestly, that’s an understandable response.

No serious injuries were reported, according to NJ.com. We can’t say the same thing about serious laughs.
