CLACKMAS COUNTY, Ore. (CNN) - Oops!

An Oregon man says he accidentally hit the gas instead of the brakes and ended up dangling off of a 2-story parking structure in Oregon.

83-year-old Kenneth Schiedel's Lexus dangled two stories above the ground from the parking deck at his retirement home near Portland.

Authorities say Schiedel escaped the vehicle as it teetered on the deck and went back to his room.

Fortunately, officials say no one was hurt and the damage to the parking garage wasn't severe.
