These images capture how narrowly a woman escaped death after she drove her car off the edge of a steep cliff.

Her car clings precariously to the face of the cliff in Newfoundland, Canada, when she skidded over the top.

The 20-year-old driver reportedly drove through a parking lot gate near the edge of a tower at the top of the cliff.

Emergency services arrived after the woman was ejected from the car when it crashed, sustaining serious injuries.

Her vehicle was towed away but had extensive damage.

Skid marks near to the cliff precipice show the speed at which the vehicle travelled over the edge.
