Did he make it to the toilet in time to avoid an accident?

Nope.

BBC News have the story here.

Basically, a Japanese gentleman whose job it is to help preserve Japan's cultural heritage has accidentally reversed his car into a bit of it.

And the bit he reversed in to is a communal latrine in Tofukuji Temple in Kyoto. (Which is an anagram of Tokyo).

Although these toilets (which is an anagram of T.S.Eliot) were 20 holes in the floor.

It's a strange looking car isn't it?

And it looks like someone has written "willy" on the back of it.

But if you look closer, you will see it says "WiLL Vi" - for it is a Toyota WiLL Vi - a rather quirky and rather ugly precursor to Scion strongly related to The Yaris.
