That Ought to Buff Right Out: Suzuki Vitara Towing Fail [Updated with New Videos]

It's in the human nature to find someone to blame for an accident, or two in this case, as after the Suzuki Vitara Mk1 (evidently) suffered a first crash, the final blow came when a group of men were trying to tow it up a hill.

We can only speculate what when wrong or what they could have done to prevent it – for example, we don't know if they had pulled the emergency brake and set the shifter in gear or whether they had placed any rocks under the front tires, but the result is that the Vitara rolled down the hill to its death.

It all happened this past Saturday at an official Nissan dealership in Moscow, Russia, with the entire scene being captured on film by a surveillance camera located inside the building.

We managed to find the preliminary Russian police report, which says the unnamed man left his car for repair on April 1, and came to pick it up on April 7.

"Showroom staff reported that the car is repaired, but after waiting several hours, the car owner did not see it," reads the (translated) report.
