Door smash! Delivery driver stops his runaway Lexus as it rolls into front yard and then prangs it as he reverses out

  • A DoorDash delivery driver parked his Lexus IS300 on a driveway in California 
  • As he walked up the driveway, the car began rolling towards some potted plants
  • The driver stopped the car put damaged his door reversing it into a pillar  

This is the hilarious moment a bungling delivery driver watches his Lexus IS300 car crash into his client’s front garden. 

The incident, which happened on March 3, in San Bernardino, California, showed the driver pull up on the driveway and carry the package to the front door of the house. 

The delivery driver must have left his $40,000 car, which has an eight-speed automatic gearbox, in drive which allowed it to creep up the path and mount a flowerbed, crashing into several potted plants.

The man desperately tries to stop his car and opens the driver’s door before slamming the car into reverse. 

The footage, which was captured on a doorbell camera, showed the car reversing with the driver’s door open which then smashed into a pillar, bending the hinges. 

The driver stops his car to close the door and reverses back out onto the driveway. When he leaves the car, he is unable to shut the door as the hinges are warped. 

The unidentified driver tried to replace the potted plants to their original position while he appeared to explain himself to the homeowner, who remained off camera during the encounter. 

The householder who uploaded the video said: ‘A DoorDash delivery driver left his vehicle and it rolled away and hit the potted plants. 

‘The driver tried to stop the vehicle, reversed and damaged the door on the garage port column.’

Unable to stop the car with his body, the man leaped over the hood to get into the driver's door

However, the driver's day was about to get considerably worse when he put the car into reverse - before closing the door - and hitting the pillar of the car port. Such was the extent of the impact it damaged the hinges preventing the door from shutting properly
