Lucky to be alive Whitby woman survives cliff fall in Mini
A woman who escaped uninjured when she plunged over a 100ft cliff in her car while not wearing a seatbelt said she was lucky to be alive.
Barbara Tyreman, 60, of Eskdaleside, near Whitby, North Yorkshire, was leaving her home when she accidentally hit the accelerator of her Mini as she tried to reach for her seatbelt.
As the grandmother-of-two swerved to avoid hitting another car, the Mini "flew" over the edge of the cliff and came to rest 100ft below wedged between two trees.
