Woman in her 60s stuck 4m in the air after hitting neighbour’s fence in Mosman car accident
A woman was left in a precarious situation when her car ended up suspended on her neighbour’s fence after she mistook her accelerator pedal for the brake.
A woman in her 60s found herself stuck in her car and wedged above her neighbour’s fence, 4m off the ground, after mistakenly hitting the accelerator pedal.
The incident occurred in Sydney’s Lower North Shore suburb of Mosman.
The woman, Christine Rogers, was left dangling on the wall for half an hour before paramedics and fire and police rescue teams arrived at the Awaba St scene.
The Daily Telegraph reports Ms Rogers was on her way to a doctor’s appointment at 11am on Monday morning when she backed out of her driveway and landed on her neighbour’s fence. Although she intended to hit the brake pedal, her navy Volkswagen accelerated into the neighbouring property, missing the home by 60cm.
Footage from Channel 7 shows the car suspended above the neighbour property’s yard, just metres above a children’s cubby house.
Miraculously, Ms Rogers was not harmed in the incident and didn’t require additional care from paramedics.
Her husband, Chris Rogers, was in their home when the accident occurred and said he was baffled their neighbour’s fence was able to support the car.
“I only heard it, I didn’t see it – my wife was backing out of the garage and went through the fence and into the neighbour’s property,” he told The Daily Telegraph.
“We couldn’t understand why the car was still up there but part of the fence was supporting it.
“She was calm and the police and rescue team were fantastic.”
A spokesman for NSW Ambulance also commended the operation led by multiple emergency services which extracted Ms Rogers from the complicated scene.
“When paramedics arrived on scene we encountered a vehicle suspended in mid-air with an occupant still within the vehicle,” he said.
“Due to the difficult access, we worked collaboratively with other emergency services to carefully extricate the patient.”
