The driver of a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon was lucky to be alive after his SUV crashed from a 3-storey glass garage above and landed on its roof .

He was reported to have lost control of the G-Wagon after stepping on the accelerator instead of the brake pedal, prompting the SUV to crash through the glass exterior wall.

Luckily, no other persons were harmed and cars damaged in the crash, even though the off-roader flew into the busy Los Angeles road at around 11p.m

Investigators said that it was not a DUI case and the driver,who suffered multiple injuries, will recover in hospital.
