Brazilian Man Survives Dramatic Car Plunge Down Stairs
Imagine driving your car and suddenly getting a really bad headache, so bad you can't control the car anymore.
This happened to a man named Railson in Brazil.
His car veered off the road and tumbled all the way down a long set of outdoor stairs!
It looked like a terrible accident, but miraculously, Railson only got a tiny scratch on his finger.
He explained that he forgot to take his medicine for high blood pressure, which made his head hurt.
He feels very lucky and believes God protected him.
Luckily, nobody else was around when his car went down the stairs, so he was the only one involved.
A 48-year-old man, Railson Souza, miraculously survived a car crash in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

He attributed the loss of control to a severe headache possibly caused by forgetting his high blood pressure medication.
