Car slides 80m down hill at Queensland lookout

A driver and passengers escaped injury after a car slid up to 80m down a hill at a Gold Coast lookout.

The driver and an unknown number of passengers were at a lookout opposite the Bavarian Grill Haus at Mount Tamborine, a police spokeswoman said.

The car slid 60 to 80 metres down the hill.

Initial reports indicated the driver had been trapped and injured in the car, but it is now believed everybody escaped the vehicle before it fell.
