Terrifying moment car 'rains' down from seventh floor of parkade
It's truly a miracle that the driver in this unfortunate incident walked away with only minor injuries.
I don't know about you, but I strongly believe that timing has to do we everything we do in this lifetime. From meeting the one, to getting the dream job, falling pregnant, finding the right place to live, getting into the school you applied for, and even side-stepping an accident or tragedy. There is always a time and a place for everything. Also, what's meant to happen will happen.
I guess that for this driver, the timing and the place were just not right for them to go. Footage of this terrifying freak accident shows a car dropping seven floors from a parkade after the driver hit the wrong pedal. Instead of braking, she accelerated, causing the car to push over the barriers and fall seven floors to the ground.

You have also got to appreciate just how lucky the driver of the car turning around is. A few seconds longer while turning around would have surely resulted in death?
I also felt comforted by the actions of the bystanders that acted with great urgency to assist after this horrific incident.
