Woman drives car off fourth floor of parking garage
A woman crashed her car off the fourth floor of a parking structure at County-USC Medical Center in Los Angeles on Monday. She was injured when the vehicle landed upside down on top of an adjacent carport.
"I screamed for her to hear me but she didn't hear me and she just went on over," said eyewitness Delva Dyer. "I thought she was dead, because I didn't know that the structure had caught her."
The car landed on its roof atop a carport adjacent to the parking structure, limiting the fall to just over two stories.
"Grabbed the door and pulled, yanked the door open on her side, and, ah, kind of eased her out. And she said she was feeling okay. So we kinda eased her out and put her on the other roof, and, ah, laid her down, and I took my clothes, my jacket and shirt and laid her on there and waited for paramedics to come," explained rescuer Roy Seymore.
The 35-year-old woman was listed in serious condition with injuries that were not believed to be life-threatening. "She inadvertently hit the accelerator and in essence, pushed her car underneath the fence, and, fortunately, didn't fall the full distance of four floors, but landed on the roof of the building here behind us," said Chief Tim Ernst, Los Angeles City Fire Department.
