MOUNT PLEASANT, Wis. (AP) - The owner of a southern Wisconsin house might not be in love with the Oscar Mayer wiener right now. The Oscar Mayer Wienermobile crashed into the house in Mount Pleasant Friday.
Police Chief Tim Zarzecki says the 22-year-old driver was turning the giant hot-dog-on-wheels around in a driveway and thought she was reversing but instead went forward and crashed into the deck and garage. Nobody was home at the time and no one was injured.
A spokeswoman for Oscar Mayer apologizes for any inconvenience and pledges to fix the damage to the house and the Wienermobile.
