Heavy rain caused chaos in a Bukittinggi, West Sumatra parking lot on April 14th, leaving several vehicles stuck due to the slippery conditions. Footage captured by Wahyu Lelo, the parking manager, shows two SUVs assisting a sports car that became immobilized.

Lelo reported that at least ten vehicles struggled to navigate the parking area after afternoon showers. "The ground was very slippery after the rain, and cars were having trouble getting traction," he explained.

One car owner arrived to find his vehicle stuck and unable to leave. Pushing the car proved unsuccessful, prompting Lelo to call upon experienced off-roading colleagues for assistance.

"Thankfully, none of the car owners were upset," said Lelo. "I think they appreciated our efforts to help."

The incident highlights the challenges faced by tourist destinations during peak seasons like Eid al-Fitr, where limited parking can be exacerbated by unexpected weather conditions.
