SAN ANTONIO — A man narrowly avoided crashing through an apartment complex on the northwest side early Wednesday morning.

Police say the crash happened at a complex on Parkdale, near I-10, around midnight.

A man was sitting in his car, according to officers, when he accidentally put the car in drive instead of reverse. Police say he then drove over a ledge, smashing into a staircase. 

He did not hit any apartment units, and no one was hurt in the incident, police said. The driver is not expected to face any charges.

The residents were given the option to come down the fire ladder, but all residents chose to stay in their units.
