OMG, some people really need to read the owners manual to figure out what park assist does and does not do, LOL!

Better than the lady in China in an RX who crushed her husband to death as she backed into him in a garage spot.

That was actually the story I was referring to. She actually died because he stuck her head out of the car and crushed it too. Insane story

Kind of grainy and the way the right taillight from the RX melds with the Sienna? Sure this isn't photoshop?

It's not a Sienna, but yes, it seems a bit photoshop-like to me as well. Something about the driver side rear wheel and relation to the side of body and wheel opening looks peculiar as well.

I don't agree with people who make fun of the deceased.

Anyways, this could happen, if there is not enough space on the drive way. This case, it look exactly like that. There was no space for her to pull from the left to the right to park in, so the length of the car get in the way.

Though, she/he should known this before it happened to damage the car

I agree as well. The incident of the one in China is too graphic to be mentioned.
----------

As for the picture of the parking in Richmond, its real. It has been mentioned on a Vancouver forum, Revscene as part of the "Hall of Shame" thread.

I'm sorry but your link to this other forum doesn't make me believe it any more than I did before. Still too many irregularities with the image itself.

You may want to know about the area including the some of the bad driver incidents which happen there. There are pics similar to that and if it were fake, it would of been pointed out by them by those folks over there including the people on FB when it was shared since the 9th. Have a look at the "Shi**y/Dangerous Drivers Thread" there too, which also includes dash cam footage of things which happen often; self explanatory.

Richmond is a suburb of Vancouver in case you were wondering.

I'm not saying are wrong, but the picture does seem to look odd in a way. On the other hand, a new picture got posted today in Richmond with a car into a brick wall at at 7 Eleven! So yeah, strange things do happen and I've seen some myself since I am also from Vancouver.

I don't think it was the Park Assist. More likely......................

It almost looks legit. The funny blurring of the tail lights kind of look like the red reflection from the mini vans tailights reflecting on the clearn RX lens. The shadows of all 3 cars on the ground kind of look consistent. If you look at the red car, it is slightly crooked as if the RX pulled in the swiped the mini van on the rear corner while also hitting the red car pushing it off center slightly and wedging itself in between both cars. Could be photoshop, but like I said, the questionable smudge on the taillights look like a reflection of red on the RX clear lens to me.
