BERLIN, Germany - A young driver had a lucky escape when her Toyota car was partially crushed by a tank.

The 18-year-old German motorist encountered a convoy of British military vehicles in the northern town of Augustdorf on Monday after turning into a road whose name translates as "Tank Ring Street."

The 24-year-old soldier at the controls of the 68-ton Challenger was unable to stop and rolled over the front of the car.

The teen was unharmed in the incident. The area is near at least two British military bases.

"The street was built for heavy military vehicles near a large training facility," police spokesman Lars Ridderbusch told NBC News. "The street is known among locals as a shortcut."

Brings to mind that old movie short, "Bambi vs. Godzilla" Anyone out there hip to the clip I think it's all of a minute long with a surprise ending. (ca. 1970's?)
