The driver veered off the residential road and smashed into the brick work.
The wall in front of a house was partially knocked down.
The red, C-class Mercedes suffered major damage with the back bumper left hanging off
But the car recovery vehicle miraculously escaped serious damage.
It then became wedged between the two.
The bizarre accident happened in Newport, Isle of Wight on 6 September.
Two people in the car were taken to St Mary’s Hospital for checks but were not seriously injured.
Cops closed off the road while firefighters used steadfast devices to stabilise the car before it was removed.

“Seriously though, I hope all involved are okay.”
Maxine Hellmuth added: “Perhaps the car was trying to put itself on the truck.
“Got it a bit wrong.
“At least recovery is to hand.”
John Wood quipped: “You can’t park there mate.”
Claire Downer joked: “Easily done.”
