Jokes about reverse parking are usually reserved for female motorists.
But this lucky driver in China had a miraculous escape after plunging his car 21 feet tail-first into an alleyway.
The man, from Xiamen in China's southern Fujian province, was reversing his car into a parking space when he mistakenly stepped on the accelerator instead of the brake.
His automatic white car shot backwards through wire fencing and toppled over the edge of the car park before dropping to the alleyway below.
Luckily, the embarrassed motorist and his five-year-old son, who was sat in the passenger seat, were unhurt in the accident. There was no-one in the alleyway at the time.
But his car was not so fortunate after the boot was crushed flat by the impact and the bonnet was badly damaged as the car toppled into a nearby building.
The vehicle, which was written off by the crash, had to be removed from the alleyway by a crane.
