wut

I'm paying attention now, watching where the car is headed. Sure enough, it neither brakes nor turns, but instead crashes unabated into a metal building at the edge of the lot. (about 30-40 yards from my vantage point)

Trying to make sense of what I just witnessed, I look to find what kind of idiot would drive into a building, but I can't see anyone in the driver's seat.

A few seconds later, a guy emerged from the school, looked around perplexedly, and suddenly started running toward the car.

As he subsequently explained, he thought he left his car in "parked," but obviously he had not.

Facepalm o' the day.
