The clip, released on Wednesday, shows a quiet street moments before parts of the concrete building wall crumbles as a car comes crashing into the ground meters below, sending smoke and debris flying.

It is believed 23-year-old Lindsay Taylor Cook was pulling into a parking space on the fourth floor of a parking garage when her vehicle, an Audi Q5 SUV, went too far forward, crashed through the concrete barrier, and fell to the street below.
