Man Fall Over BQE Guardrail and Lives

2005_11_cadmancrash.jpgA lucky man survived a car crash and falling from the BQE yesterday. Nicklaus Emmanuel, a UPS loader, was a passenger in an Acura that "spun out of control from the left lane of the BQE just past the Cadman Plaza exit about 1:30PM." The smoky car continued to roll towards the guardrail, and when Emmanuel climbed out, he fell 30 feet to Furman Street, landing feet first. Feet first! The Daily News says he dragged himself off the road with his hands because his right hip was crushed and as the cars careened towards him. Wild. Emmanuel is expected to walk again and the police say the driver won't be charged.
