Minnesota Teen Taking Driver's Test Crashes Into License Building
The license examiner suffered non-life threatening injuries during the behind-the-wheel test.

BUFFALO, MN — An epically bad driver's test ended with a trip to the hospital for the exam instructor Wednesday. Police in Buffalo, Minnesota say a 17-year-old girl drove into the town's driver's license examination station while she was taking her behind-the-wheel test.
The Monticello teen accidentally put her SUV in drive instead of reverse. When she put her foot on the gas, the car lurched forward, jumped the curb, and smashed into the building.
The collision caused serious damage to both the vehicle and exam station.
