Default someone's car ends up on homeowner's roof!



When Joyce Kingsley heard “kaboom” while at her Michigan home, she immediately thought about extreme weather.
The 83-year-old needed to look up: A Ford Mustang was parked on the roof of her home after the driver had a medical problem Monday and lost control on Interstate 69 in Shiawassee County.
Kingsley’s home about 20 miles northeast of Lansing is built next to a hill, and the roof is nearly level with the ground, The Argus-Press of Owosso reported.
“I was just watching TV inside. I had it up pretty loud — but this was much louder,” Kingsley said.
State police said the Mustang went through several bushes, trees and a fence before stopping on the roof. The driver was treated for low blood sugar but wasn’t hurt.

That's the first thing I thought of! Amazing. Thought of in advance for such situations?

That shows you how much the cost of a Mustang goes into "overhead".

Made out better than the poor SOBs in the house in Alexandria here that were watching TV when a car came THROUGH their house!



I bet everybody thought the woman was crazy for buying that underground house. Not so crazy now!

Yeah...I know that neighborhood. It's not that far from where I live. That jack-a** was going way too fast for safe conditions on that road. Police have already cited speed as a factor, and are waiting for test-results for alcohol and drugs.
