A man plunged 22 stories from an apartment building but was saved when he landed on the roof of a car, British newspapers reported.

The Daily Mirror and the Daily Mail said Chris Saggers, 26, walked away with only a broken elbow and some bruises after his 220-foot fall. "He dusted himself down, muttered `I am fine' and set off for home," the Mirror quoted him as saying."The car was as flat as a pancake and I thought I was seeing a ghost," said witness Paul Eardley.

Police said they were treating the incident as an attempted suicide.
