Car Plunges Into Mumbai Parking Lift With Driver Inside
Something scary happened at a tall apartment building in Mumbai, India.
A car fell down a big hole where a parking lift should have been.
The car went down about 25 feet, which is like falling two floors.
A man named Subhash Kumar Yadav was inside the car at the time.
He works as a valet, which means he parks and fetches cars for people.
The owner of the car had asked him to bring the car out.
While he was driving toward the lift, the car dropped into the shaft.
Nobody is sure yet why it happened.
Maybe the driver lost control of the car.
Or maybe he did not know the lift was not there to catch it.
People are still trying to figure out what went wrong.
A car with its driver inside plunged 25 feet down into a parking lift at the Horizon Gold building in Mumbai.
The driver, Subhash Kumar Yadav, was a valet attendant who had been asked to take out the car by the owner.
The car reportedly fell two floors down in the incident.
The accident happened at the ground-plus-21-storey Horizon Gold building.
It remains unclear whether the driver lost control or was unaware that the lift was not in place.
