Wild viral footage shows a car stuck under an Atlanta highway overpass — with its driver’s feet dangling 20 feet in the air. Emergency crews rushed to Interstate 20 near Windsor Street Sunday night and found the car balanced in a “precarious position” — between concrete support beams supporting the road overhead, Atlanta Fire Rescue officials said, according to Fox 5. Jaw-dropping footage taken from the scene shows a person’s feet and legs dangling over the edge of the beam, about 20 feet above the ground inside the tunnel.
The unbelievable incident quickly went viral online, with many perplexed about how the crash unfolded and if the individual involved was OK. Following the crash, crews quickly got to work stabilizing the car so it wouldn’t fall. Officials said the person inside the car was able to climb out safely, without the use of any special equipment.
The person who was seen dangling in the footage escaped without any critical injuries, officials added. Grady EMS evaluated the person at the scene before taking them to a hospital. Tow trucks later removed the car, making the road open again to traffic.
Two people who recorded video of the incident told Fox 5 that they noticed a crowd gathered near the crash and stopped to see what had happened. The unusual sight reminded them of a moment in The Wizard of Oz when the Wicked Witch of the East’s legs can be seen sticking out from beneath Dorothy’s house. Their footage showed cars lined up with their occupants on the road looking up at the overpass in confusion as the car was wedged between the concrete beams above.
It was not immediately clear how the vehicle ended up in such a precarious position or how the person was dangling over the edge. Authorities have shared few specifics, but said that the person is going to be OK. The identity of the person involved has not been released.
