Miracle ... female driver survived horror crash

A WOMAN has survived a horror 50ft fall after driving her car off the sixth floor of a multi-storey car park.

Incredibly, the unnamed Australian suffered just cuts and bruises after her silver sedan crashed through safety barriers and on to the street below.

The crumpled vehicle ended up wedged on its side in the Melbourne alleyway.

Firefighters had to cut out the trapped 41-year-old driver, after the roof caved in.

Wreck ... emergency services had to cut woman driver from vehicle

It is believed the car struck the roof of an adjoining building, before plunging to the ground and landing on the passenger side.

Emergency services who rushed to the driver's aid were left stunned after finding she had sustained only a cut to her head.

Intensive care paramedic Matthew Riddle said: "The car landed on the passenger side and the 41-year-old woman was still in the driver's seat, supporting herself so she didn't fall.

"There was only about 30cms between the car and the wall on either side of the laneway so we had to edge our way in against the car to get to the woman."

The woman was treated by paramedics for a severe cut to the head.

She was taken to the Royal Melbourne Hospital in a stable condition and has since been released. No one else is believed to be injured.

Women are beginning to make themselves recognised all over the world now.
Only 10 years ago, in The middle east, women would have to walk 5 paces behind thier husbands... now, they get to walk 5 paces in front....
Although landmines could be part of the equation here.

Another insurance claim, whiplash, broken bones, etc.

I'll bet the car was an automatic. Even with only two peddles & a stick that shows Park, Rev, N, Drive, 3, 2, 1..... She still couldn't get it right

I have to admit that I almost had a big crash when driving an auto a months ago. Pulled onto a roundabout and instinctivily went to change gear. Slammed on the brake instead of clutch, whoops.

Most people make that mistake when stopping... But then they only make that mistake ONCE.
Unless, of course, they're an idiot

What get's me with automatic related accidents at low speed. If your pulling away, be it forward or reverse, and the car does the opposite to what you want, why do people floor it instead of braking?

Natural instinct. Why do people stop crossing the road when they see a car coming even though they are in the middle of the road already ?

But that's the opposite of what people do in auto cars.

Oh sh!t, a cars coming.... Stop!

Oh sh!t I'm going forward... floor it! (taking that she was trying to reverse out of a parking bay)

I accidentally put my auto in reverse after stopping at a level crossing. I rolled about 4 inches backwards before I hit the brake & put it in drive.

But I have kissed the windscreen once while coming to a stand still. Going for that non existent clutch. Only the once though
