WASHINGTON — Parking can be tough — but a video going viral online captures a driver’s more than 4-minute attempt to escape a parking lot.

The video taken by a surveillance camera in Calgary — a city in the province of Alberta, Canada — shows a driver’s painfully slow exit from a parking lot and the backups, turns and damage along the way.

One ironic twist: the man who helped guide the vehicle out of the lot owns one of the cars it struck.

The video has been viewed more than 3.9 million times since it was posted Dec. 4.
