A fast food restaurant parking lot in Council Bluffs was the scene of a chain reaction accident Friday afternoon. Council Bluffs Police say 61-year old Michael Forbes, of Council Bluffs, was parking his 2002 Toyota 4Runner in the parking lot of The Great Wall restaurant in the 400 Block of East Broadway at around 12:45-p.m., when he apparently hit the accelerator pedal instead of the brake.

His vehicle jumped the curb and struck two vehicles that were parked in the Jimmy Johns parking lot. The passenger side tires of the SUV struck the front of a 1989 Pontiac Grand Prix, which caused it to ramp onto the driver’s side and come to rest against a 2015 Ford Fusion. All vehicles sustained moderate damage, but all remained driveable. The Grand Prix and Fusion were both unoccupied.

Forbes was not hurt, but he was trapped inside the vehicle until Fire Department personnel braced the vehicle and were able to extricate him. No citations were issued as the incident happened on private property.
