A car fell off a 22-foot slope after the driver pressed the accelerator by mistake during reversing in eastern China.

In the CCTV video, shot in the city of Longquan in Zhejiang Province on January 10, a car can be seen reversing towards the edge of the slope and then falling off.

Another clip shows the car lying upside-down at the foot of the slope.

According to reports, the driver Mr Zhao was about to reverse into the parking but he pressed the accelerator instead of the brake by mistake.

Fortunately, the car hit a thicknet which helped slow down the vehicle before it hit the ground.

Mr Zhao and his wife both only suffered skin traumas, reports said.

2020年1月10日，浙江龙泉，一司机倒车冲下7米高的边坡，“翻盖式”倒在路上。据悉，司机是上海赵先生，他们一家来龙泉探亲准备返程，倒车时误把油门当刹车，发生意外。万幸路上没有行人，赵先生夫妻仅受了皮外伤。交警陈志金勘察现场后表示 ，万幸车坠落时被空中的一根粗电缆拦下，受到电缆的缓冲，因此车上两夫妻没有大碍，只受了点皮外伤，也没有路人受伤。
