Stuck in a very tight spot: Chinese builders give up waiting for driver and demolish multi-storey around his parked car
Demolition of Taiyuan car park goes ahead around the one parked car left in bay used by local company
Builders held off for ten days for owner to return to vehicle but couldn’t delay street-widening project any longer.
It is not the only example of Chinese authorities pushing ahead with building projects before all obstacles are out of the way.
Residents have been pushed out of their homes by builders digging moats around their properties and ripping out their staircases.
But in the case of this part-demolished Taiyuan car park, it is a driver who has been backed into an impossible corner.
The lone car is parked in a bay, surrounded by the debris of the flattened car park.
It is said that the car park in Taiyuan, Shanxi was scrapped as part of a street-broadening project.
Stranded: The parking bad is perfectly intact, but the piles of rubble surrounding the car mean it will have to be removed with a crane
Strange sight: A woman and baby survey the bizarre view. The car is facing a row of shops and is though to be owned by someone working for a local company
The site was used as for parking by a local company.
Builders went ahead with demolishing the area after waiting for the car to be moved for ten days. When the owner failed to return to the car, workers were told they couldn’t wait any longer.
The bizarre sight of the white vehicle stranded in a sea of stone has stopped passers-by in their tracks. The piles of rubble and large chunks of concrete leave no clear path for the car to be driven out.
It is not known whether drivers were informed of when the car park was to be flattened, but the owner of this vehicle seems to be none-the-wiser.
Anyone in there?: A security guard peers into the abandoned car. its owner had not claimed it in the 10 days before the demolition. Builders were ordered to go ahead with their work as the project couldn’t be delayed further
