This is unfortunately not the first time this has happened at my house but it is the first time a car has actually made it over the hill and hit the house.
I was on my way home from running errands and in front of me was a mustang driving normally. All of a sudden she swerved hard left and then as soon as she came to my fence swerved right and went airborn over the fence. She flipped end over end the back windshield busted out and the car landed on its top up against my house. I was screaming by this point.
I jumped out of the car and don’t even remember my neighbor coming into my yard and I yanked open the door and thought for sure she was dead she wasn’t moving! Then she jerked and unbuckled her seatbelt and her head slammed into the top of her car. Me and the neighbor pulled her out of the car and she was covered from head to toe with glass.
Inside the car was a baby car seat that was all but crushed and I freaked out. I kept asking her if the baby was in the car and it took her a minute to tell me the baby was with her mom. By this time there are 50 people in my yard and everyone is calling 911 and her mom.
I sat down with her and she was literally shaking so hard that I couldn’t hold her still.
Luckily I found out from her mom this morning other than a mild concussion and a broken clavicle she is fine.
It was scary!
This is the car against my house I was shaking so badly that it is really blurry. It knocked the air conditioner out of the window.

That’s terrible.
Was she going too fast? Are those flames painted on the front end?I am so glad she’s OK and the baby wasn’t there. I assume her insurance co. is going to tow it away from your yard. Is she at fault? I just wonder if the damage to your house is covered, now that we know she’s going to be fine. I hope she was examined in a hospital just to make sure her head and neck are OK too. You might be covered for your cuts by your own insurance co. also. Worth a phone call.

I’ve been meaning to post to this thread since the first day…but there’s simply no words for my shock at the whole situation and my relief that you and yours are well and no one else was seriously hurt.
We lived near a new freeway when I was young. I can remember once being woken at about three a.m. by squealing tires and a loud bang. Some guy, probably drunk, ran his car off the road by missing the exit and went upside down in the creek area between our house and the neighbors’. Luckily there was a wide enough error margin that he didn’t hit either house but I don’t recall if he survived the drop which had to be at least twenty feet and at a high rate of speed.
You’d think a petition for a guard rail could be circulated amongst your neighbors and a bill put forth to your city council to have something done. It’s nonsense that they won’t even look into it.
Stay safe, Sonn! Give all the furbabies snuggles from me.
