Video shows car's 7-story fall from Texas parking garage.


AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Police in Austin have released surveillance video showing a car plunging seven stories from a downtown parking garage and striking another vehicle as it lands in an alley.

The video released Thursday shows the car landing atop an SUV then rolling upside down onto the ground. Moments later, people run to help the driver escape.

Police say the July accident happened when the woman drove through retention wires on the seventh floor, hit a building across the street and plunged to the alley below.

The SUV's driver wasn't hurt. Austin-Travis County Emergency Medical Services officials said at the time that the woman was treated at a hospital.

Last September, a sport utility vehicle plunged from the ninth floor of the same parking garage.

The driver survived

Wow, unbelivable!!! Says last year the samething happened from the 9th floor.

Given the way many cars react to their accelerators, I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often. I've always thought that those retention cables should be disallowed, since they are not strong enough to do the job they are tasked with.

probably texting

Do police suspect suicide?

I mean with all the stories of a.i. and autonomous vehicles out there, I'm sure many cars are depressed.

Not to mention companies like Uber creating a new slave class of automobiles.

I can't tell you how many times I've seen cries for help or attention on cars. "Coexist" spelled out in religious symbols and "Please wash me!" in ghostly letters.

Someone should help these poor cars.

Vehicle lives matter.

Suicide ? Most likely. This vehicle probably had tranny
issues. An automatic in a stick shift body.

tranny issues? woman driver, did she used to be a man? i know they are mental, but thats kinda a weird way to kill yourself...
