A car was left hanging off a bridge after a late-night accident that left its passengers plunging into the canal as reported by Mirror UK news. 

The car completely destroyed the bridge's wall in Wolverhampton last  Saturday but stopped short of falling into the water.

Its driver was able to clamber out onto the road but the front-seat passenger had no choice but to leap into the water to escape the wreckage.

The driver and passenger were unhurt.
