Footage shows the car teeter on the lower edge of the bridge before sliding forward just in time.
The driver, seen in the video waving for help, was not injured.
County officials have not said exactly what happened but did confirm the bridge tender on duty at the time has been fired.
Earlier this month, a woman died when a drawbridge she was walking her bicycle across in West Palm Beach began to rise.
Police said the woman was about 10 feet from the end of the bridge and attempted to hang on to a railing but lost her grip. Officials said she fell five or six stories and landed on concrete. She died at the scene.
