According to the fire department, despite the sudden fall from the third floor, it was fortunate that no one was on the floor below at the time of the incident.
The car also prevented itself from crashing all the way to the ground floor which could have caused more injuries to its passengers.
It must be so scary! We’re glad both of them are okay!
