A lorry driver had a lucky escape after the truck he was driving crashed through the walls of a New York car park.
The truck was left dangling in the air several storeys above street level.
The driver, Robert Legall, lost control of the 16-ton vehicle in the Queens district of the city.
Emergency workers tried to pull it back into the car park while firefighters attempted to free the trapped and injured driver.
He was eventually pulled to safety by the driver of a cherry picker who broke the side window of the lorry to allow him to be freed.
