Emergency services workers attend the site of a car accident in Melbourne on April 4. The driver was injured after she drove through a Melbourne car park safety barrier and plunged six storys to the street below.

 Australia's Herald Sun newspaper reports:

A woman who had a miraculous escape after driving her car off a six-storey car park can thank her 4WD - and luck.

Paramedic Matthew Riddle, who was first to treat the 41-year-old woman, said he was amazed she survived.

"I think a lot of things contributed to keeping her alive today -- airbags, her seatbelt, luck," he said.
