Drivers keep falling off Captain D’s drive-thru in Colorado Springs
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) -- Some customers at a Captain D's restaurant are getting more than food at the drive-thru window; they're also getting their vehicles stuck by taking a wrong turn out.
This phenomenon happens occasionally at the restaurant on Fillmore Street, just west of Union Boulevard.

Employees say the situation happened twice Sunday; instead of turning left at the drive-thru window and following the lane onto Fillmore, vehicles turned right, went over a curb became stuck on a three-foot concrete ledge above the sidewalk.

In most cases, a tow truck is summoned to get the vehicle back on the ground, but sometimes people will push the vehicles out of harm's way.

Vehicles make the wrong turn despite signs clearly indicating the proper direction, although Lester Nowell -- the store's owner -- says those signs are often knocked down by drivers.
"I don't think it happens as often as people think it does," he said. "It's happened maybe five or six times that I can remember. But it may have happened other times that I'm unaware of. I didn't know it happened twice Sunday."

Witnesses say the mishaps have been a common sight for a decade or more.
"One time, a driver thought he was supposed to turn right instead of left," says Jermey Williams, a former Captain D's employee. "Another time, a woman fell asleep at the wheel. And another time, the driver was drunk."

One resident, Caleb Mandry, has created a Captain D's Drive-Thru Survivors page on Facebook that has gathered 1,000 members in two days; members post photos of and share stories of similar incidents at the location.

Mandry says it's a humorous look at how often drivers make the wrong turn in the drive-thru, but the page is likely more embarrassing to the victims.
"Some people want the ledge removed, but I don't," he said. "It's been there for years. I grew up in that neighborhood and remember cars getting stuck all the time."

Nowell says city codes limit what he can do to change the layout of his property and help drivers avoid going over the ledge; his advice to drivers is to simply pay closer attention.
Stupid is as stupid does
You have to be a terrible driver to make this mistake. I have been through this drive up several times. As you can see in the pictures you have to drive over a curb before you get stuck on the wall.
Low Brains!
Or maybe a drug/DUI test is needed after the incident. Was they texting or other distractions.
BREAKING NEWS
It’s not Captain D’s fault that Jeep and Ram drivers don’t know their vehicles can’t go offroad. Those people don’t even know which countries designed and built their Fiat, let alone its specs.
Drug related or texting while driving, bust the drivers!
Can’t fix stupid…add in the phone factor and booze……what more could you ask for?
wow…WELCOME CALIFORNIA DRIVERS!!!!
Don’t forget about Texas! They’re still learning too.
Here’s A Sign: “TOW BILL-$500 Follow The Arrow$- Pricele$$!”
The cover photo of the Blue Jeep was done on purpose cause the guy said he could drive down it without getting stuck. He was right he could. 😂
