Car dangles off cliff in Canada
Somehow, the car did not fall all the way to the water below.

NEWFOUNDLAND, Canada (WTVD) -- Police in Canada are investigating how a woman managed to drive off a cliff in Newfoundland.

It happened Sunday on Signal Hill, which overlooks the city of St. John's and is popular with tourists for its old fortifications and walking paths.

Investigators say a 20-year-old woman somehow crashed through a gate and plunged over the cliff.

She either jumped or was thrown from the vehicle and was quickly rescued. Her car was left dangling partway down the cliff face.

A towing company was able to pull the car back up. The woman suffered serious injuries in the accident.
