> Atlanta police are still trying to figure out what caused a car to plunge six stories out of a parking deck in Midtown, with the driver still inside early Wednesday morning.

> Police said the 23-year-old driver behind the wheel of the car was trying to do something called drifting, not unlike the movie “Fast And The Furious: Tokyo Drift.” A driver would pick up a lot of speed, and then cuts his wheel sharply, causing the car to slide sideways, or “drift.”

> At the Savannah Midtown Apartments at North and Piedmont Avenues, the bumper of the red Chevrolet Cavalier can be seen hanging from the sixth level of the parking deck. The car **plunged from the sixth level to a dumpster** behind the garage.

> Part of the fence went through the passenger side of the car, where the driver had just dropped off his passenger. Police said that they were certain that the passenger would have been killed, had she still been in the car.

> After the car hit the ground, apartment residents said they had heard the squealing from the parking deck. They ran downstairs to see if the driver was okay. They said he was conscious, but bleeding a lot.

> The unidentified driver is in stable condition at Grady Memorial Hospital, but facing a number of charges, including DUI, reckless driving and criminal damage to property.

My guess he was driving a cavalier and since chuck wagons have a more sophisticated rear suspension, darwin put down his chicken finger sub and headed right out the the general locale at a slow trot, ending in the aforementioned
