'Welcome to St Louis': Man Can't Contain Laughter as Car Reverses Through Traffic

A Missouri man couldn’t contain his mirth on January 18 when he spotted a car in St Louis driving in reverse for blocks, even navigating through traffic into a center turn lane.

Allen Singleton, who recorded the video on Page Avenue, told Storyful, “Driving backwards down one of the busiest streets in St Louis is highly unusual, especially during rush hour. Without explanation, the driver, whose skills are pretty amazing, managed to control the mangled … car down the road.”

Singleton’s colorful commentary throughout the video is almost as entertaining as the reversing car.

“He’s straight-up driving backwards down the whole street,” he says incredulously at the beginning of the video.

Later on, he enthusiastically remarks, “Welcome to St Louis – as ghetto as it gets!” Credit: Allen Singleton via Storyful
