Burnaby firefighters extricate a driver from a vehicle that fell from a Lougheed Plaza parking lot Wednesday.

A Burnaby driver survived a harrowing ordeal at Lougheed Shopping Center without injury this week, according to the Burnaby Fire Department.

Shortly before 5 p.m. Wednesday, firefighters were called to Cameron Street to the northeast corner of the mall’s parking lot, according to Assistant Fire Chief Mark Forsberg

A Subaru sedan had nosedived from the Lougheed Plaza parking lot into the main mall parking lot below.

“Our crews stabilized the vehicle in position to make sure it would stay in that location and once it was stabilized, they assisted in removing the female from the vehicle,” Forsberg told Glacier Media.

He said the woman, the only person in the vehicle, was not injured.

“For sure a very happy man,” Forsberg said.

Since Wednesday, the driver has become something of a social media phenomenon, with numerous online videos putting the rescue effort to music.
