Either the universe is expediting the demise of Mercury->ke55 or somebody just got a case of massive panic, although this dealership accident may prove that both scenarios were working hand-in-hand.

Whatever the case may be, a couple looking to make a Ford F-150->ke423 pick-up truck purchase were about to test drive a unit when things took a (reverse) turn for the worse. Thinking that he was all set to go, the driver mistakenly put the pick-up in reverse only to realize what he had done a second too late. In his panic, the driver accidentally pushed the gas pedal, causing the truck to drive straight into not just one, but two Mercury Milan->ke1705 sedans that were parked in front of the F-150.

Emergency crews were quick on the scene to help the shell-shocked couple out of the truck where, fortunately, both came out unscathed. According to KABC, all three vehicles were heavily damaged as a result of the accident, although there's no word on whether the couple who made the trip to the dealership to test out the F-150 would have to pay for the two Milan sedans they accidentally wrecked as a result of the mishap. We're not ones for letting incidences like this go without so much as a fine, but considering that these are Mercurys - who really buys them these days? - we'd let this one pass. Besides, the driver didn't mean to do it so we'll chalk this one up to the universe accelerating the inevitability of Mercury's demise.
