Manhattan: SUV Falls Out Window, Lands On Building Roof


A Mercedes SUV went flying out of a sixth-floor window inside a Greenwich Village parking garage on Monday afternoon.

The vehicle was being moved inside the Hertz rental car garage on East 13th Street when people heard a crash. The SUV went out the window and landed on the roof of a neighboring building.

It was a very strange sight for the people who saw it. The driver was still inside when it landed.

“It was in a parking garage. The guy backed out … through the wall and onto the second story,” one witness said. “We heard only a crash.

“By the time I saw it the driver had gotten out of the car and had walked about 20 feet.”

Added another witness: “There’s a big gaping hole, the size of the windows that were up there – 15 feet by 12-15 feet. [It fell] three stories.”

The driver was apparently walking and talking immediately after the crash, although he’s been taken to a hospital and is under observation. It is believed his injuries are not life-threatening.
