A freakish accident in Pittsburgh on Thursday resulted in a car flipping over and landing on top of a fountain.

The driver was pulled from the wreck after the incident and was taken to UPMC Presbyterian Hospital. His name and condition have not been released.

Witnesses say the car was not going very fast, about 30 or 40mph, when the crash happened.

Pittsburgh police Sgt. Mike Pilyih said the driver drove straight through the entrance area of the fountain before it hit a bench and knocked it into the pond, then hit the front of the fountain after which the car flipped and landed right on top of the fountain.

A witness, Willie Phifer, said the car went about 7 feet into the air before landed upside down on the fountain.

Sarah Hagerty, another witness, said she and other bystanders ran over to help the driver.

‘We kind of held his head out of the water and kept his spine stabilized and waited until the paramedics and firemen got there,’ she told Wpxi.

Hagerty, who lives in the neighbourhood, said the area was ‘pretty well populated’ with a lot of people walking about.

‘For him to not hit anyone in that front section is pretty amazing.’

Tow trucks were brought in to remove the car from the fountain.
