A woman driving a Porsche SUV accidentally hit the accelerator and crashed through a concrete barrier on the third floor of a parking garage in Coral Gables, Florida. The SUV was left dangling from the edge of the garage, half supported by a tree. Rescue workers used ropes to safely extract the woman from the vehicle, who was then taken to a hospital in stable condition. Despite the dramatic incident, the woman remained fairly calm. Witnesses reported hearing the sound of the crash, thinking it was a car collision. A crane was used to remove the SUV, and structural engineers were called to assess the integrity of the garage. The entire incident was captured on aerial video by NBC South Florida’s helicopter. The woman was fortunate to make it out of the situation safely, and emergency personnel responded quickly to ensure her well-being. The incident served as a reminder of the importance of staying calm in emergency situations and the quick response of first responders in ensuring the safety of those involved. The cause of the crash was determined to be accidental acceleration.
