The driver was able to escape with the help of someone on a lower level in the parking garage.

It is not yet clear how the vehicle went off of the parking garage. Guide wire was wrapped around one of the wheels of the vehicle, preventing it from falling.

A 24-year-old man has driven off the edge of a rooftop vehicle park and lived to tell the tale. The driver crawled through the sunroof back into the garage, getting out without injury.

Several people who work in the downtown area took photos of the auto dangling between the garage and another building.

Someone even recorded the video of the driver climbing to safety after the vehicle went over the edge.

Firefighters pulled the hovering vehicle down after a bystander helped pull the driver through a sunroof.

‘It looked pretty unsafe even though it wasn’t swinging, ‘ he told the station. Miller says the whole incident reminded him of a scene from Jurassic Park.
