A motorist had a lucky escape when his van careered off a

A Chinese couple had a lucky escape when a driver hit the
accelerator instead of the brake and nearly shot off a 50ft rooftop
carpark. A security guard at the car park, in Changsha, capital of Hunan
Province, said the couple worked for a company nearby. They arrived for
work, as usual, one morning but while maneuvering into a space, their
black Chevrolet suddenly started shooting backwards. The car smashed
through a perimeter wall before coming to a halt teetering dangerously
over the edge of the building.

A motorist had a lucky escape after his car was swallowed by a
sinkhole as he travelled along a busy motorway. The vehicle was trapped,
with its front wheels sunk into the chasm, when the gap, measuring
about 13ft-wide, suddenly appeared. The sinkhole – which is the eighth
discovered in China in the past two weeks – happened in Nanchang City,
capital of Jiangxi Province.

The driver of this truck must have seen his life flash before
him as his wagon somehow balanced on the edge of a bridge above a 200ft

his truck miraculously hung on by a punctured tyre and some torn metal
near the fuel tank.

Im not sure who the driver of this truck prays to but whoever it
may be they were certainly looking out for him the day he got caught up
in a landslide in the Sichuan province of China. Talk about a lucky
escape – his truck is teetering on the edge of the collapsed bridge,
just managing to stay balanced looking as if it could topple over at any
moment.

It looks like an ordinary car accident, bank over the railing
and fall across the concrete conduit. It is nothing special until you've
seen the whole picture.
