An SUV rolled from a parking deck — and ended up wedged against a wall, Georgia officials say.

Dramatic photos from Wednesday show the vehicle in a precarious spot after the ordeal in Lenox Marketplace, a shopping center in Atlanta. The mall is in Buckhead, an upscale neighborhood north of downtown.

The SUV had gone off a parking garage near a Target store, Atlanta Fire Rescue posted on Twitter.

After smashing head-on into the wall, it rested with its rear wheels still on the parking deck, pictures from the fire department show. A mangled railing appeared to fall down, according to the photos.

Firefighters worked to rescue the driver, who was roughly 10 feet in the air, WXIA reports.

Crews had to stabilize the SUV before the woman could get out and go down a ladder, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The woman wasn’t hurt, officials say.
