A woman is lucky to be alive after a spectacular crash on Gardiners Road during the height of Sunday afternoon’s shopping rush.

The single-vehicle crash happened just after 3 p.m. at the Gardiners Road underpass.

Police are still trying to piece together how it happened.

But it appears the driver of a Toyota Prius went up an embankment, just south of Development Drive next to Raxx Bar and Grill, and then rolled back down onto the road landing on the roof.
