This was the hilarious moment a husband and wife from Iowa managed to get into a car accident before they even left the driveway.

Surveillance camera footage captured on Tuesday (November 27) outside the couple's Des Moines home shows the husband reversing down the driveway and eventually coming to a halt.

The wife, then assuming he had left, without looking reversed into the stationary car which resulted in clear bewilderment and frustration of the husband.

The husband said: "My wife and I were leaving for work, I was waiting for traffic. And she wasn’t!"
