EAST MORICHES, N.Y. (CBS) ― An allegedly drunk driver brought down part of a house in Suffolk County when he crashed through the home's second floor.
Police say the allegedly drunk driver ran a stop sign and hit a berm, causing the SUV to be catapulted action-movie style. From the second floor, the vehicle dropped down to the first floor vertically, with it's headlights pointing toward the sky.
Homeowner John Sarli says he's lucky to be alive. He was the only person at the home, sleeping on a couch in the den when he heard the crash and the sound of glass breaking.
Police arrested the driver of the car. He's identified as 20-year-old Adam Clark of East Moriches, and he had minor injuries.
He has been charged with driving while intoxicated, reckless endangerment and criminal mischief.

Self-ping.
They had one in the Florida Keys also!
Looks like it is left over from the filming of True Lies.
Actually, that is left over from Henry Flagler's Florida East Coast Railway that was built through the Keys and was destroyed by a hurricane in 1935.
A highway was built using the remaining pilings. That's why the road is so much wider than the foundation, as the foundation was originally built to support only a single line of railroad track.
It was reported that Bill Clinton was nowhere near the immediate vicinity.
What? You wouldn’t even give the guy or his insurance a chance to pay for it? Remind me never to drive my car into your house.
And you have to keep reminding me. I’m old; I forget stuff.
LOL!
LOL!
Alcohol may have been involved.
YA THINK?!
Mind you, I’m speaking solely from personal experience here; the only times I’ve had any experience with any activities performed ‘action-movie style’ involved the use of alcohol.
A similar situation happened here in Greenville SC this past spring...some guy having just left a local country club wedding reception drove his Maserati at least 85MPH on a 35MPH road, went off through a field (about 400-500 feet) hit a berm and flew into the back of a house, went straight through, but sadly killed the owner sitting in his living room watching t.v. The driver of the car claimed he swerved to miss a deer. Needless to say it’s big news down here and the guy will be going on trial for murder...yes, he’s been charged with murder.
Yes, the one in the article is definitely a ground effect vehicle.
It flies for a short distance, and the firmly re-establishes contact with the ground.
Ya think? LOL
Yah, LMAO. I’ll stand on my statement in post 35.
You want anything more than that, you’ll have to speak to my attorneys: Torkbender, Nork and Eaker.
Flyin’ cars in NY, and it isn’t my fault.
(For once)
