Young Mom’s Car Gets Stuck In Underground CarPark
A mom from Sydney, Indy Clinton, shared a video with her 1.1 million TikTok followers on how she got stuck. Clinton shared that she was driving to a shopping mall to get hemorrhoid cream when her car suddenly stopped.
Her Car Was Bigger Than The Space
She was using the underground car park when her car got stuck. Clinton’s car was too big and had scraped off the top of the roof. In the caption of the clip, the mum explained that she was claustrophobic.
She Was On The Verge Of A Mental Breakdown
Clinton added that she had caused a jam and was about to have a mental breakdown and panic attack. The video got over 1 million views and thousands of comments since it was posted.
Clinton Escaped The Situation With The Help Of A Stranger
A lot of TikTok users sympathized with Clinton in the comment section. Seeing how caring her TikTok users were, Clinton uploaded a follow-up video the next day. She shared that she got help from a stranger.
How The Issue Was Resolved
The stranger put her car in 4WD and reversed it slowly. The mum also added that it was not the first time something like that happened. Clinton shared that when she was 18, her manual Ute did not fit and she called the police.
She Was Glad The Police Did Not Need To Be Brought In
However, she shared that she was happy that she did not have to call the police this time. TikTok users who followed through with her mishap story shared their two cents in case of next time.
TikTokers Share Hacks
Someone noted that she could simply let out some air from her car tires to make room for the vehicle. Others echoed the same sentiment while a third user relayed that she did not have to let out all the air. They stated that a little air could be let out of the tires and it takes the car lower for her to drive out.
