Plenty of people have been involved in road accidents, but few can say they’ve crashed through the top floor of a house.

Emergency services were called to the scene of a bizarre incident in central Pennsylvania after a car was launched into the air as part of an “intentional” incident.

They found the vehicle lodged in the second floor of a house on the 800 block of Alfarata Road in Decatur Township on August 6.

The driver was taken to Geisinger Lewistown Hospital, while the three people who were at home inside the house at the time were evaluated by paramedics but were not taken to a hospital.

The Junction Fire Company was called to help out the Decatur Volunteer Fire Company and they responded and were on the scene “within minutes”.

The statement read: “Rescue Company took in a vehicle into a structure in Decatur Township this evening. Chief 17 arrived on the scene within minutes to find one vehicle on the second floor with the patient out of the vehicle.

“The Rescues crew stabilized the house and helped the homeowners put a tarp on the hole due to upcoming storms squad 5, Truck one, engine 2 squad 2, fame ems, police and parsons towing all worked together.”
