Wienermobile crashes into Wisconsin home

An Oscar Meyer Wienermobile crashed into the home and outdoor deck of a house near Racine, Wisconsin on Friday.


The 22-year-old driver thought she was moving in reverse, but actually went forward and crashed into the home. No one was home and neither the driver nor a passenger was injured.

Both the home and vehicle suffered moderate damage and no citations were immediately issued.

Oscar Mayer spokeswoman Sydney Lindner apologized for any inconvenience to the homeowner and said insurance would cover the damage. The company has six Wienermobiles nationwide, she said.

"We expect to be back on the hot dog highways spreading miles of smiles in no time," she said.
