Well, I'm glad no one was injured in this accident...other than the driver.

Part of me finds this kind of story humorous and the other part doesn't because the driver could have killed someone.

Opinions or comments - anyone?

We has a car come careening down a winding street where I lived in Cuyahoga Falls, OH.

It was a Saturday night and my in-laws were visiting. When we heard the screeching tires we all realized that you can't go that fast on these streets and not hit something. That's exactly what happened. A big "Whump!" and a car piloted by two teenagers who were partying on beer, crashed right into the living room of a neighbors house.

Nobody was injured but it really freaked out the owner of the house who was, at the time of the crash, in the carport under his car, which was up on jack-stands. Had the crashing car's course been a tiny bit more to the right, it would have hit him and his car....less than four feet from impact with the house.
