A driver with a learner's permit crashed his car through the front of a Dunkin' Donuts in Cranston, Rhode Island, on Monday, but a 15-year-old's one liner for NBC10 WJAR after the incident is the story that's taking the internet by storm.
According to NBC10 WJAR, the driver of the car, who is still learning, accidentally put the car in drive instead of reverse.
To make matters worse, when the other person in the car instructed them to brake, the driver instead pressed the gas pedal.

Employees of Dunkin' said they heard a loud bang and thought something exploded.
But 15-year-old Brian Haibon, whose mom works at Dunkin', had the response of a lifetime to the crash.
Speaking with NBC10, Haibon said:
"America doesn't just run on Dunkin'—cars do, too?"
And the twitterverse could not get enough.
@meldasilva9 @kev405 that\u2019s funny. Kid knew he had a heater— (@)
Though Haibon had us in stitches, thankfully no injuries were reported on the scene.
The accident happened at 6:30 a.m., typically a busy time for the shop, but owner George Zwiener said they were fortunate.
"I feared the worst."
"Luckily, at that point in time, there were no customers in line and my crew was located a little bit further away from the point of impact."
"I am just so happy that no one was injured."
Haibon shared his relief that his mom was okay, too.
"I'm happy she didn't get hit. That would not have been good."
