WATCH: (Scroll Down For Video) A driverless Honda Accord had to be brought to a stop by using police spike strips after it spun uncontrollably for over 5 minutes on a busy street in Moreno Valley.
A resident, Tommy Anderson, manged to capture the moment on video.
‘To turn the corner and see a guy just hanging on belly first on the roof and spinning around, I didn’t know what to think. It was unreal,’ Anderson told CBS.
CBS reported that Moreno Valley police had to use tire shredders to bring the unruly vehicle to a stop. The station reported that the entire street had to be closed off during the ordeal.
According to CBS, the car’s owner told police he believed the wild ride was the result of a mechanical error.
As he watched police operate, Anderson’s thoughts went out to the responding officers, he told CBS.
‘I was actually pretty worried about the officers. They were getting pretty close to the car and, who knows, it’s a driverless car, you never know which direction that thing may go,’ Anderson said.
