ALBAWABA - A Russian man miraculously survived after jumping from the 19th floor in the city of Voronezh, Russia Today revealed on Tuesday.

A video circulated on the internet showed a man falling from a high building and hitting a parked vehicle in Russia.

According to local media, rescue forces arrived at the scene where a man fell from a 19-storey building; the man in the video was seen standing on his legs and walking normally as he seemed fine and healthy like if nothing happened.

However, he was taken to nearby a hospital for suffering injuries in the head and spinal. Some reports reportedly claimed that the victim was singing on the way to the hospital.

Reports claimed that the 41-year-old man was likely drunk before jumping off the window.

Before falling and landing on a parked Nissan X-Trail, the Russian man was seen shouting unintelligibly from a balcony. Some people claimed that he might have jumped to commit suicide, while others allegedly said a person might have pushed him down, but no clear statement was made about the reason of the incident.
