A Peachtree City, Ga., employee was arrested on multiple charges after a post-service test drive went very, very badly.

According to local police, the 22-year-old Tires Plus employee heavily damaged a vehicle while conducting a road test after the car had new tires installed. The car was a 2008 Mustang GT.

Police said that during the test drive, the man made a U-turn at a traffic light, losing control of the car when he accelerated, causing the car to leave the road and strike a sign pole. Instead of staying put, the man drove away, compounding his problems.

The man was charged with reckless driving, leaving the scene of an accident and failure to maintain lane. The sign, belonging to another local business, sustained damage, as did the car.
