LONDON -- A car ended up in a ridiculously unlikely position after rolling down an embankment in High Wycombe, UK, on Tuesday.

Firefighters attended the scene where they set up a cordon around the vehicle. The driver of the BMW was left in the care of ambulance services but was not seriously hurt, the Metro reports.

Just take another look at those pictures, though. 

If you happened to glance at them without context you could easily be forgiven for thinking it was the aftermath of some kind of film stunt -- the car is on its side, slotted perfectly between the front of the house and the concrete ledge that's resting against its roof in what must be a two metre gap at most.

What are the chances of it coming to a stop in that exact position?
