Both the driver of the BMW and the driver of the Tahoe were supposedly alright after the episode.
Newly-released video shows the moment a auto plummeted from the seventh floor of a parking garage and landed upside down.
Police have released CCTV capturing the moment a BMW plunged from the top floor of a auto park in Austin on July 13, narrowly missing another vehicle that was backing out of the facility below.
Austin-Travis County EMS and Austin police said the lady's auto went off the carport close Sixth Street and Brazos Street around 8:30 a.m. July 13.
Police said the women drove through the retention wires on the seventh floor of the Littlefield parking garage and the auto hit the building across the alley as it fell, rupturing a gas line.
On the way down, the woman's vehicle hit a building on the other side, taking out the alley surveillance camera. Moments later, people run to help the driver.
Police released video of the crash August 10.
In a clip, the vehicle falls out of the sky, crashing into the back of Burch's SUV and lands upside down.
"I was pivoting in that little administration conveyance zone". As I was backing out towards the dumpster, I heard something, because I had my window down, ' Burch told KVUE.
'So I just immediately just put it in drive and started driving forward and as I started driving forward, the vehicle landed on me'.
GTT Parking, the garage's owner, said a similar incident happened in September 2016 in the same location, but on a different floor in which no one was hurt.
