The hot dog company’s promotional Wienermobile crashed Friday into the deck and garage of a home in Mount Pleasant, about 35 miles south of Milwaukee.
The 22-year-old driver was trying to turn the Wienermobile around in the driveway and thought she was moving in reverse, Mount Pleasant Police Chief Tim Zarzecki said. But she instead went forward and hit the home. It sat in the driveway as if it were stuck in the garage Friday afternoon.
Responding officers were not initially told what kind of vehicle was involved.
“It was a little bit of a surprise when they arrived,” Zarzecki said.
“So they were, I’m sure, somewhat humored by the incident but their first response was wanting to make sure everyone was OK,” he added.
There is literally not one single aspect of this story that isn’t 100% awesome, but if I had to pick a favorite part, I think it’s the fact that the officers weren’t told what type of vehicle had crashed. I mean, if I was the dispatcher, I’m pretty sure that is the first thing I would mention.
