You had one job....

A man whose job it is to help preserve Japan's cultural heritage has accidentally smashed his car into the country's oldest toilet at a centuries-old Buddhist temple.

The communal loo at Tofukuji in Kyoto dates back to the 15th century and is designated an important cultural asset.

Its ancient door was ruined after the employee hit the gas without realising the car was in reverse, police said.

No one was injured and the actual latrines inside remained intact.

The unnamed man, who works at the Kyoto Heritage Preservation Association, called police soon after the crash. He was said to be visiting the temple on business, according to the Sankei Shimbun newspaper.

That looks awfully far into the building for a reversing accident. TD CSI might need to take a close look at this one.
