A South African driver has escaped with her life after her car nose-dived into the roof of a house, say the ambulance service Netcare911.
They have tweeted pictures of the aftermath of the incident in KwaZulu-Natal province:
Netcare's Chris Botha told the Africa Live page that the woman had driven through the intersection at a junction and then through a barrier which separated the road and the housing below. The driver was airborne for a moment before the car crashed into the house.
"She miraculously escaped with her life," he said, as she is in hospital with fractures.
He added that if she hadn't been wearing her seat belt she would be dead.
News website ECR reports that three children were playing in the bedroom next to where the car had landed, but luckily no-one on the house was injured.
