A car ended up on the roof of a house in southern China following a bizarre accident, local media reported.

No one was hurt in the incident, but police found a shocked-looking driver after they were called to the scene of the accident in Cengong county, Guizhou province, last Thursday.

Guiyang Evening News reported that the driver told police: “I received my driving licence two years ago but I never drove until I bought my car last month.”

The driver, whose house is located on a hill, was trying to park the vehicle.

He mistakenly put the car into a forward gear rather than reverse and lost control of it when he released the clutch.
