This is the shocking moment a driver crashed his new car into a parked vehicle in a bizarre reversing fail - by pressing the accelerator too hard.

CCTV footage shows the white subcompact SUV pulling out of a driveway as the driver mixes up the gears and underestimates the speed in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

They appeared to press the accelerator while the automatic transmission was still in reverse. The unexpected speed sent the car surging backwards uncontrollably on Tuesday, August 19.

Shocked locals watched as the vehicle smashed into a car parked on the opposite side of the street.

The impact pushed the stationary white hatchback onto an elevated tree well, with the SUV ending up on top of it.

The car can be seen tilted on top of the flipped vehicle, while stunned motorists nearby continued to navigate the road.

Shopkeeper Kim Au Pang said she went outside when there was a loud crashing sound.

She added: 'The driver bought this car a couple of days ago and drove from the shop. I think this was the first time they had reversed it.

'Now they have to pay for the damage to their new car and the scratches on the other.'
