Spectacular Crash: Mustang Vs House, Zero Injured, Cats Missing

2008_12_houseli.jpg "I opened my bedroom door and right in front of me there was a tire spinning at eye level," Long Island homeowner Jim Cordo told Newsday after a crazy car crash delivered a totaled Ford Mustang into the front of his house. After falling asleep at the wheel around 6:30 this morning, the driver struck a pile of firewood, sending his vehicle airborne and up over the hood of Cordo's car in the driveway. According to Cordo: "He went over my car and embedded himself into my house. It had to be airborne when it hit my car." Miraculously, no one was seriously injured, though the family's two orange tabbies are now missing. The driver reportedly apologized to Cordo and was not arrested or charged.

  • I think we're going to have to call this one a draw.

    Those Lawn Guyland drivers!

    (and they wonder why we want to charge them $8.00 to drive here!)

    Ahh, suburban car culture. Sure, my subway ride is getting more expensive, but I have never ridden it up over a car and into someone's house.

    A truly heartwarming holiday story. All's well that ends well. I'm sure everyone involved can sit around and have a good laugh. I mean, look at that crazy photograph!

    Next time, when someone is killed or paralyzed for life -- it might not be such a cheery story.
