Yahoo! News - Driver Survives After Car Plunges 30 Feet: "Mon Dec 27, 5:35 PM ET MEDINA, Ohio - A man escaped with minor injuries after his car plunged 30 feet off a highway overpass and landed wheels-down in the snow-covered median between lanes of freeway traffic.
'The front air bag deployed and right after that I felt a floating sensation,' Michael Doner said. 'I thought, 'I'm either dreaming or I'm falling.''
Doner, 60, of Medina, was making the three-hour drive to visit his mother on Christmas when a car skidded into his and a second car slammed into him, sending his car over the railing on the state Route 57 bridge over Interstate 71 about 30 miles southwest of Cleveland.
A helicopter crew flew him to Cleveland's MetroHealth Medical Center, where doctors told Doner his Honda's side air bag minimized his injuries. He had a broken collarbone and cracked ribs.
He was sent home less than six hours after the fall.
'I'm very lucky,' Doner said. 'The guy upstairs was looking out for me.' "
