It turns out coasting an SUV with no brakes downhill to a scrap yard isn’t a good idea after all.
Police
say a 28-year-old man found that out last week when he attempted to
drive an SUV to a scrap yard in Jamestown, 96.5 kilometers south of
Buffalo.
Officers tell The Post-Journal of Jamestown that the man
told them he had disconnected the battery before coasting down a hill to
get to a nearby scrap yard. Police say he also told them the 1995
Chevrolet Tahoe had no brakes.
Officials say he was unable to stop
at an intersection and collided with another vehicle. He and the other
driver suffered minor injuries.
The man was charged with reckless endangerment, failure to stop at a stop sign and having inadequate brakes.
