WILDWOOD- At 1:55 p.m. Sun., Oct. 2,, Wildwood police and fire units responded to a report of a car with no driver, turning circles near 4900 Susquehanna Ave, between Rio Grande and Hand avenues.
According to the a member of the Wildwood Fire Department, the car went out of control when the driver got out of his seat in order to allow his passenger to switch seats with him and drive.
The car, believed to be an older Ford Thunderbird, then jumped into reverse on its own.
As it circled, one of the passengers attempted to jump back into the car to stop it. He sustained minor injuries.
Wildwood Fire Chief Chris D’Amico able to enter the driverless automobile and bring it to a safe stop. D’Amico said that he was able to get close to the car from the inside of the circle it was making.
“I got into the inside circle,” he told the Herald. “It was easier with a smaller circle to close the distance.”
“The window was down on the passenger side,” D’Amico said. “I was able to climb into it and turn it off.”
According to D’Amico the car sustained some damage where its door hit a pole.
The car was towed away from the scene.
