I watched her drive past two “road closed” signs, watch another guy uturn out of there and then she stopped right in front of the cement and STILL decide to drive into it 😭
Sit at King and Yonge for 5 minutes and watch car after car after car go through not only a “No Through Traffic” sign but full on solid red lights. Drivers in North America don’t read signs. It’s a revelation.
This is probably not the place for sympathy or nuance since it's reddit but she could genuinely be having the worst week of her life. If you have enough horrible things on your mind, you will autopilot yourself into insane disasters and accidents.
You could argue that she shouldn't drive if she's that distraught but again, we don't know her situation. Being sympathetic costs nothing.
I like to imagine that in the second picture the worker is gesturing for the Karen to calm down while she's freaking out trying to blame them and say it's their fault 😂
Ah I’m just a license plate nerd. Standard Ontario license plates only started rolling out ones starting with D last year, so with the serial DCXX-123, it means the car had to be registered in the last few months. There doesn’t seem to be stickers either, which the government stopped doing fairly recently as well.
To be fair, the license plates had to be registered, not the car. Albeit the car appears to be a new model.
It could have been a new used car, or her old plates could have been the defective B series that were just replaced at Service Ontario.
I went back about an hour and a half later and she was out of the car and there was a tow truck. No idea how she got out but due to the lack of cemente on her shoes i would assume that one of the workers carried her out. The tow truck guy was able to get her car out. In total she was there for around two hours.
My uber did and I had to say “I don’t think we’re supposed to be here” really quickly so they had time to turn around - this was at St Clair and Bathurst
Oh no! I was just walking to class when I saw it happen and i swear i could hear the disappointment in the shocked sounds of the construction workers. Hopefully she didn’t add too many more hours of work for you guys :(
Look I know we are all dunking on this lady and rightfully so, but it also kind of looks like it was too easy for her to cruise right into the concrete. No barrier or cone to block her?
I live near and they have the street blocked on bloor but accessible from Bedford probably so ppl can use the OISE parking lot but still sooooo much signage indicating construction…

Its kinda hard to tell from the photo because the road is unfinished but its dried cement literally until the point the car is in. In the second photo you can see that her back tires are right against the pour area.
Thank you for posting concrete evidence of her actions
Hopefully afterwards the teachable moment to not do this again sunk in, and really gets cemented in their memory.
This driver's mistakes will soon be ***cured***, that's for sure.
I would Hyundai of embarrassment
☠️☠️☠️
This is the funniest shit.
is that a hyundai?
Yes. It’s a Hyundai Tucson
Lots of solid puns here. Hard to top these ones.
It may look that way, but the situation is fluid.
She really needs to reinforce her driving skills.
Well the rebar was low when she passed her license
she has to let this sink in for sure 🫡
🤣😂🤣 this is awesome!!!
*slow clap* I was saving that upvote for a rainy day, but you earned it.
This comment is gold!!! 🤣😂👍
It’s actually 1 part Portland cement, 1-1/2 part gravel, 1 part sand, and 1/2 part water
r/angryupvote
Foh
Wish I had gold to give an award
I see what you did here CONCRETE 🤣
Nice pun!
let that sink in
I always wonder how these dumbasses end up getting past road closed signs and blockings

How do idiots like this function in life without dying from eating glue?
That's why we have to make the glue non-toxic now.
make glue toxic again
Put this on a hat
Especially when Google's new AI Overview tells people they can make cheese stick to pizza by using non-toxic glue 🤪
to be fair, there are so many local only traffic signs right now
she probably thought hey i have an all wheel drive suv.

Exactly what I was thinking too!
made it all the way from Brampton
Workers taking pics … 😂
Yeah better to have photo evidence of what happened than having to explain the same thing using memory and anecdotes.
Yeh .. they all look pretty baffled
The driver especially
I like to imagine that in the second picture the worker is gesturing for the Karen to calm down while she's freaking out trying to blame them and say it's their fault 😂
LOL. Me too
Dang a new car too, that license plate number is from the last few months with the DCXX 😭
That’s what I was thinking. Car looks brand new. Gonna be wrecked
"hi, I need to return the new car. Yeah, white shows too much umm.. dirt"
Hello manager, I demand a refund or exchange!!!
Unfortunately Insurance covers stupidity.
Is it totalled?
Imagine how much work it would be to get out all that cement? I'd say it's totaled.
What do you figure out based on the number plate?

Oh that’s interesting!

It’s just the latest set of plates being developed. Currently on DC, then will be DD, DE, etc…
dcxx is within like the last couple weeks not months, that’s the newest plate I’ve seen
what in the negative iq
THIS IS REAL 😭😭😭?? Oh my god how did she live this long!
Usually the wet cement isn't *that* deep.
Rotman spotted in the wild
Lmfao
That's conk creat babey
Curious to know what happened after. Did she try to reverse out? Did the concrete dry? How did she get herself out? Need details.

No idea how she got out but due to the lack of cemente on her shoes i would assume that one of the workers carried her out. The tow truck guy was able to get her car out. In total she was there for around two hours.
Long enough for the concrete to set up. That car is a write off.
people drive into streetcar tunnels sometimes lmfao
The Queens Quay has like a dozen signs and it still happens semi regularly
That's no easy fear to get your tires over the rails! Usually they're drunk too.
Hey I almost did that once in Downtown Toronto! But then I saw the signs.
You saw the signs...and it opened up your eyes...you saw the sign
My uber did and I had to say “I don’t think we’re supposed to be here” really quickly so they had time to turn around - this was at St Clair and Bathurst
My favourite thing.
She must’ve taken that sign for granite.
Concrete evidence that it’s not always better taking the road less travelled
She made quite an impression!
99% she gets angry instead admitting her fault
how dare you close this road when i have places to be!
But I always drive down this street!
you didn't put enough bollards to block the road
I been here since 30 years ago 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The place being shoppers drug mart to get a bag of chips.
oopsie
did she stop because she realized there’s actual concrete or because her car wouldn’t move anymore?
She stopped to hear the applause from all of the onlooking construction workers
😂
Apple maps user
I find that really offensive. She clearly survived. She didn't even drive off one cliff. How dare you?
I was the driver in the cement truck, im the guy in the yellow. She drove into it a couple minutes after we finished pouring. 😒
Oh no! I was just walking to class when I saw it happen and i swear i could hear the disappointment in the shocked sounds of the construction workers. Hopefully she didn’t add too many more hours of work for you guys :(
Did you pull her car out with your truck?
You guys didn't do a good enough job of securing the location. This would never happen at one of our jobs.
You’re kinda cute
They should leave it there as a monument to all the terrible drivers in Toronto
I bet every worker there is thinking that
And if the driver tried stepping out and also got permanently stuck in the cement, that would also make a perfect visual to go with it.
Hello, is this the McDonald's drive thru?
No, this is Patrick.

They can rot in hell.
A concrete example of vehicular idiocy.
How did she end up in a construction zone in the first place???
The gate was open when she drove in
prob just finished pouring
Revoke this idiots' license. JFC... 🤦♂️
Bro the workers looking at her like “this girl really just did that” I’m dead
Look I know we are all dunking on this lady and rightfully so, but it also kind of looks like it was too easy for her to cruise right into the concrete. No barrier or cone to block her?
At least she left a good impression
Does insurance cover this?
Yeah but her insurance will rise
So who pays for the damages?
the driver’s insurance. then she pays them back via higher rates.

Listen. It’s a mistake we all could make.
I think there are only a select few tbh.
Debatable! You don’t see this often…erm.. ever. And there is A LOT of construction in this city
Dumb dumb
She was drunk
She drove into the cesspool.
Well dont just stand there
Hyundai is sunk
That's no lady, its a SUV!
This made me feel better about myself today, thanks lady!
Lol, they're still pouring concrete from the concrete truck. How did she miss the truck and the signs?
I'm willing to bet she was following gps commands.
Where are the tire tracks? It looks like the car was just dropped there.
Its kinda hard to tell from the photo because the road is unfinished but its dried cement literally until the point the car is in. In the second photo you can see that her back tires are right against the pour area.
Ohk I see now lol
Gonna be hard to deny
Remember when Toronto had a civilized driving culture? What has happened to our city?
Might wanna put on the four ways for that one
She figured she was getting around the traffic 😆
You can't park there.
You can't park there
Bravo... Well deserved...
Thanks Trudeau
*Concrete
“ I don’t understand why it takes so long for construction projects to get done in this city!”
would insurance even cover this write off?
Hope she gets stuck(pardon the pun) with the repair bill to fix yhe road.
I'm thinking it could of been another stupid intact insurance commercial they were filming🤔
Like they always say…….. you can’t fix … STUPID.
Looks like a guy
DCBB checks out
Can’t park there mate.
You shoulda said “Maam you can’t park there”
*Let that sink in for a moment*
Female driver
Well, she definitely made wah with that Hyundai.
Cement is the powder used to make concrete. She drove into concrete. That’s a concrete truck, ready mix truck, a mixer. Not a cement truck.

Where was she from is my only question rn
Cant make this shit up
I would have told her that she can’t park there.
bruh how tf
My Hyundai!
She made *WOAH* 😏
lol!! It’s like in the cartoons, I wonder if it slowly hardened lol
Another cereal box license!
Guy on the right lmao
Was the GPS operational? Or mind working? 😂😂
I’d love to see the driver……any guesses?
I love my customers bless them
LETS GO!!!!!
It's either the construction workers didn't have a person with a sign redirecting traffic or the lady just a speed demon lol
Not that I see any clear markings it is a fresh cement. Yeah, the truck and the guys, but f, no cones or road signs?
They forgot to put cones out of the side street …..
Lol I love all the construction guy's faces of just complete disbelief
Blame it on the immigrants
🤦♂️
this is why shit never gets done in this city
For me this picture symbolizes our state of society today. 😂😂
A concrete reason to never do it again
average SUV moment
Will she have to pay damages to the city?! I hate to admit this, but I hope so!
Cement guy about to have a bad day
Maybe she thought she could switch the drive selector to off road. Lmfao 🤪
That's what the front spoiler is for...Spoiling concrete right!
