One dead as car falls from South Carolina parking deck
A car plunged more than 40 feet from an elevated Post Office parking lot in Columbia killing a Columbia resident Helen Zalantis. Witness Harold Baker said the car accelerated in reverse while trying to back out at about 10 15 am and struck the Post Office building breaking a steel barrier. An autopsy will determine if a health issue caused the loss of control. Postal employees who witnessed the crash received counseling as the office closed for about an hour.
