Rescuers Pluck Driver From Dangling Car In Buckhead

Thin cables held the car off the side of a parking deck after it smashed through the fencing at the edge of the facility at the Realm condominiums in the 3300 block of Peachtree Road.

 

Firefighters reached the car by rapelling down from the deck’s top floor, one story above the dangling vehicle.

 

Held in place upside down, a rescuer reached into an open window of the car and slipped a safety harness on the driver.

 

Then they pulled him to safety.

 

"The firefighters did a great job I’ll have to give them that. That’s a very unusual rescue." said Lt. Bob England of the Atlanta Police Department.

 

The car’s air bag deployed, but the man hit his head on the windshield, knocking him unconscious and keeping him still while rescuers on the scene studied the precarious situation.

 

"It looks like he sped up the ramp and went right through the wires," England said. "The wires did what the wires are supposed to do."

 

The man, whose name was not immediately released, was brought to a hospital.
