Pictures show the 16-year-old on the roof of the car which cushioned
his fall when it buckled underneath him, according to the Siberian

Investigators said he ‘climbed over the balcony rails, clung on for
sometime, but then couldn’t hang on any longer, and fell onto a car
parked below.’
The driver was not in the vehicle at the time.
Investigators have taken statements from witnesses including relatives of the boy.
