An American Airlines employee was hospitalized after a van fell out of a parking garage at Miami International Airport on Friday.
The male driver in his 50s appeared to be stable at the scene and was taken to a nearby trauma center, according to the Miami-Dade Police Department.
The company van plummeted from the fourth floor of the parking garage, according to WPBF.
Photos show the van upside down on the pavement.

American Airlines said in a statement that the employee suffered minor injuries, “but out of an abundance of caution” was taken to a local hospital for evaluation.
“We appreciate the assistance of the Miami-Dade Police Department, and the other first responders, who quickly took care of our team member,” the statement read.
Police are investigating the accident, which took place just before 8:20 a.m. at the Florida airport. Cops said the crash did not affect airport operations and "there is no public safety concern."

The driver was the only one inside the vehicle.

"Out of an abundance of caution was taken to a local hospital" for a drug screen and breathalyzer.

This is how I think at least 3/4 of our rides to/from the hotel are going to turn out.

Meh, you haven't lived until you've rented a scooter in Bangkok (or Saigon or Taiwan or Hong Kong - well almost anywhere in Asia lol) for sightseeing.

Either way the hood dissipates the energy. Although my way might look more fun.

Really, wass anybody shocked to read it was in Miami? Also, how about the driver’s age was over 90? I know my grandma was a 2-foot driver in automatics. Maybe not... it had to be going fast to go through the wall.

Dayum, greased the landing on 4th floor emergency descent. Can we get a truck driving instructor in a sim to replay the harrowing sequence of events?
