SILVER SPRING, Md. - A woman accidentally drove her car off a parking garage Monday, but suffered only minor injuries, police said.
The Toyota Avalon landed on its roof after plunging from the top level of the two-story parking garage outside Warwick Towers, Montgomery County police said.
Teeranjanie Persaud, 19, told police that as she pulled into a parking space facing the outside of the building, she put her foot on the brake but her car kept going forward. The car crashed through the retaining wall, going down nose first.
"I thought the car was going to blow up, so I just called out," she told WRC TV. "I just froze up. My mind was completely cleared. It was like I was meditating."
She credited her seat belt for saving her life.
She walked away after being treated on the scene, police said.
Isn't that something to go home and tell your parents.
Mom, "So honey how was your day."
Girl, "Not to bad, just drove the car off the garage."
Mon, "Sounds exciting."
