Airborne car attack

From The Daily Mail:

A speeding driver lost control at a turn, sped up a hill, and bounced off one house before going airborne and crashing upside down into the roof of another.

Emergency workers made it to the scene and the driver miraculously walked away with few, if any, injuries. But not until a 10 hour rescue effort to dislodge his vehicle from deep inside the home. A crew hitched a crane up to the truck and, slowly but surely, managed to lower it back to earth.

Keith McBride, who operated the rescue crane, expressed his disbelief to KTRK of Houston.

Surprisingly, for the Daily Fail, they not only neglected to mention what the car would have cost new, but also what the current market value of the house is. Or was, before 2 tons of scrap were left in the loft.
