Car nearly plunges off edge of multi-level carpark at Mater Hospital in Brisbane- Oops

Emergency services said people could have been seriously injured when a car almost plunged off a multi-level carpark at Brisbane's Mater Hospital yesterday.

Police said the car was almost driven off the sixth storey of the hospital's private carpark when the driver accidentally accelerated forward at speed.

Police Inspector Dan Bragg said the car was balancing dangerously on the edge, and could have toppled onto a building below where dozens of hospital staff were working.

"The motorist was endeavouring to park his car on the sixth floor of the carpark when he inadvertently hit his accelerator, and the vehicle careered through the fencing of the carpark and was left teetering over the edge," he said.

"The vehicle posed an immediate threat to the workers in the building below. It was evacuated and firefighters and a tow truck arrived to winch the vehicle back to safety."

Inspector Bragg said it could have potentially been an extremely serious accident.

"If it had gone over the edge one more foot or perhaps even inches, this car would have plunged six storeys into a building full of people," he said.
"The driver was in shock and I think he should go out and buy himself a lotto ticket.

"He came very close to a disastrous situation that could have resulted in death to himself and many other people."
