Incredible pictures capture moment woman is freed from her sinking car

A woman is extremely lucky to be alive after her car drove off a rock wall of a car park into a New Zealand harbour and immediately began sinking at a frightening speed.

The petrified woman was squashed up against the rear window as the front end of the BMW was rapidly submerging into the Waitemata Harbour in Auckland at 3pm on Tuesday.

Fortunately witnesses called emergency services as quick-thinking policemen arrived and sprung straight into action by jumping into the water.

11:31 a.m., the car roof is about at the level of the guy in front up to his armpits in water. As the car fills it is likely moving forward and would be submerged by the time the roof is even with him.
