NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — A man was extricated from a vehicle in the Bronx on Friday morning after it fell off an elevated parking lot in the Bronx, the FDNY confirmed.

Authorities responded to the scene at 2418 Olinville Ave. in Allerton at about 11:20 a.m., fire officials said, after receiving reports of a car leaning off a ledge.

Video posted to Citizen App shows three men helping the victim out of the driver’s seat of a blue sedan, which had fallen nose first into the ground.

The good Samaritans are seen lifting the man from the door and helping him down to the sidewalk. The man appeared to be conscious and able to sit up on his own.

Above the sidewalk where the car had fallen is a concrete wall that leads up to a ledge with parking spaces. A fence blocking in the area seemed damaged from the car falling over the edge.

After being removed from the vehicle, the victim was taken to an area hospital with minor injuries.
