A 32-year-old British woman had a lucky escape after her crashed car ended up perched precariously on a cliff above a 50ft drop. The silver BMW was left with its front wheels hanging over the cliff in Flamborough, East Yorkshire following the crash. Rescue workers managed to stabilise the car before pulling out the woman on a spinal board. She was then airlifted to a local hospital where she is being treated for back, hip and leg injuries.
