Now that's going some. Hope the driver ends up OK.

Indeed, that looks a pretty nasty crash. God knows how the car ended up striking the house like that.

"My husband thought the dog had knocked something over downstairs but as he got to the bedroom door he could see the hole in the wall and all the furniture moved" - they must have some beast of a dog!

Hope everyone ends up ok, and that they manage to figure out exactly how a car can fly.

He must of been shifting to get that much air that far from the road!

If it did not have the optional indicator package, then the car would be lighter than the standard model, therefore more likely to take off.

Here we go..



The red BMW lost control on a bend of the A30



The car skidded across the grass in front of the house..



It hit a fence before 'taking off' towards the house



Pissed Neighbour



Up up and away



Unbelievable





Thank God no one was using the spare room. I will be watching this story unfold.

Jeez

Christ, How FAST was it going to get that much air?

More to the point what did it hit to take off like that?

It doesnt look like the hedge would do it...

The tree was also in the way, I suppose the people in the car were very lucky they didn;t hit that tree, as at least the house will have asborbed some of the impact.

It's not what you'd expect to find at the end of Rainbow Close anyway...

Fap me.

Old BMW 5-series, bring driven irresponsibility quickly*? Two, possibly three male occupants? Driver untracable?

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?


Oli.

*No, not an argument for "Speed Kills", simply an observation that irresponsible speed is always dangerous. Hence the use of the word "irresponsible."
