Australian survives six-storey car-park plunge

Incredibly, the unnamed 41-year-old woman 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 driver, after the roof caved in.

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.
