An allegedly drunk man destroyed several cars and motorcycles when he cleared a path through a gridlocked car-park exit with a JCB.

Footage shows how the impatient 23-year-old wreaked havoc in the early hours of Sunday (14 Jul) following a rodeo.

Elosmar Franco de Barros was “intoxicated” when he rammed several vehicles with the backhoe loader, according to the police.

Several people were injured and one was taken to an emergency care unit with a suspected foot fracture.

De Barros reportedly works for the company GR Máquinas, which provides services to the municipality.

He had been working at the site until 10pm, when he started drinking with a friend, according to local media.

Simone Pereira, who witnessed the horror unfold from her car, told local media: “He was driving recklessly and started hitting everyone.

“It was like a horror film, really terrible. It was a huge shock.”

Daniel Oliveira was leaving the rodeo and was several cars ahead of the JCB when De Barros “lost his patience”.

He recalled: “He didn’t wait and decided to drive over the cars. He collided with the six cars in front of mine.

“My wife, brother, and brother-in-law only just managed to get out of my car in time.”

Oliveira’s car flipped over when the backhoe loader’s hydraulic shovel struck it with force, as reported on Need To Know.

The car was completely destroyed, leaving him with losses of 8,000 BRL (£1,100).

De Barros was arrested at the scene in Juazeiro do Norte, north of Salvador, Brazil, and taken into custody.

He’s been charged with damage to property and driving under the influence.
