SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (UPI) -- Police in Massachusetts said a 31-year-old pregnant woman was miraculously unharmed after accidentally backing her car off the fourth story of a parking garage.

Springfield Police Lt. Rupert Daniel said the woman, who was alone in her car at the time, accidentally put her Hyundai Sonata in reverse and drove off the fourth story of the downtown garage, plunging 40 feet to the sidewalk below, WWLP-TV, Springfield, reported Tuesday.

The woman was treated for minor injuries at Baystate Medical Center and released.

Where did this happen ? What type of building codes to they have in that particular location? Most places have building codes which require the builder to install safety barriers when the building is being built. Those barriers are installed in order to prevent such an accident from ever taking place. If repairs to those barriers are under way, then the area is closed off so that no one will get hurt. Is the lady planning to file any type of law suit ?

I agree that this needs a better explanation. I park in numerous muti-level garages and I cannot understand this happening. Not as rediculously believeable as Hamas releasing kidnapped Israeli soldier Salit.

Bah?

This is impossible. All parking garage have concrete walls all the way around them on every single level. If its under repair, no one would be allowed to park anywhere near that area or level or in the garage itself. If this really did happen, she made a whole bunch of errors on her part.

I wonder why any parking garage would NOT have safety beams in place to prevent this sort of "accident" from EVER happening? GROSS NEGLECT ON THE BUILDER AND OWNER OF SAID FACILITY!!!!!
