A North Yorkshire grandmother drove over a 100ft cliff while not wearing a seatbelt - and walked away without a scratch.
Barbara Tyreman, 60, of Eskdaleside, near Whitby, was leaving her home when she accidentally hit the accelerator of her Mini.
As she swerved to avoid another car, the Mini "flew" over the cliff and landed between two trees, reports the BBC.
Mrs Tyreman, who runs a holiday lets business, said she was amazed when she realised she was uninjured.
She said: "As I was reaching back for my seatbelt, my foot hit the accelerator and shot right across, quite fast, across the car park and down the drive, which is very long and steep.
"I was hurtling down the drive and I tried to put the brake on but for some reason I kept hitting the accelerator and just carried straight on.
"My daughter and granddaughter were in a car in front of me and I didn't want to hit them so I turned the car to the left and just flew, literally flew, and went over the cliff edge. It went down for about 100ft and the car came to a halt.
"I was sat in my car and realised I hadn't banged my head and my legs and arms and everything were still moving and I couldn't believe it."
Firefighters had to cut Mrs Tyreman from the car and she was airlifted by helicopter to Scarborough Hospital, where she was X-rayed and given blood tests but released later with just a bruise on her arm.
She said: "I just don't know how I'm alive, I'm very lucky, my life flashed before my eyes. I'm just happy that I'm here and I've got my family and everything."
