they were considering other possibilities. You know, giants picking up cars and ramming them into houses is a rising issue.
Or using the flying cars cheat codes. Who knows!
Police said flying through the air was also a factor.
Kudos to whoever built that overhang... they obviously did not skimp on nails. I'm pretty sure the one on my house wouldn't hold up much more than a fat squirrel.
I'd like to know the mechanics of how this happened.
I read the article, and I'm still not sure.
the article did not give anywhere NEAR enough information lol
I have to admit, it's actually funnier this way. I think I prefer not to know, which allows me to imagine the car experiencing a video game glitch that put it there.
lol now I am imagining a game of burnout or need for speed sprinkled in with some GTA 😆
Right? Like, WOW how does this even happen? like was there a ramp or something??
He must have driven at a very high speed across several lawns is my best guess and achieved some height that way. Idk. It's crazy.

Lol yes.
...an investigation determined the crash was 'an intentional act'...The driver of the vehicle was identified as 20-year-old Evan Miller...The vehicle went into a culvert behind the house before landing on the roof...
This man just racing game jumped his own car
Imagine how many months this incident is going to be in your life until it’s fully resolved.
The article doesn't mention alcohol being a factor, but I wonder if it was. Because otherwise, this seems like a poorly-thought out suicide attempt.
was he trying to kill himself? he may got lucky going airborne, as it made it lose momentum due to conservation of energy and stuff
