oh wth!

Today started off a nice day, tad chilly but nice. Made it through work all fine and dandy. However as I walking back to the motel, only made it a block from the office - my cell rings. ....its my uncle. The Brookville Borough police called the farm and said someone ran a car into my house and they needed to get ahold of me. I'm like, ...huh? what? you gotta be joking.. wtf?

So, I got to the room and checked out. Ran 80 miles home, yep - sure as shit someone smashed into my house. Front door and 2 ft of wall from the door to the corner of the house is smashed in a foot from the floor, door dont close - jamb/frame screwed.

Apparently a young woman lost control in a 35mph zone, went over the curb, did a 360, traveled 100-150ft, smashed into my neighbor's 60ftX2.5ft+ dia spruce tree, completely totaling her car, went back out in the road, spun 180 going backwards out into the road, came back over the curb, traveled another 40-50ft, up over my 8-12" high deck/porch, and into my house(rear first).


Now get this, the girl(27'ish) claimed she was only doing 15-20mph and heard something hit the bottom of her car at the time it started. I'm guessed to the officer 45-50mph for all that. He said "I'm saying bullshit too, and that I think your estimate was conservative." He told the wrecking company to treat it as evidence and put it on the rack tomorrow to see if something could have caused the loss of control. ....a 2007 Mitzubishi Eclipse - which I'm sure is gonna have full coverage.

Pics sometime tomorrow. Its blacker than the ace of spades right now.

Wow.

I hope there isn't any(serious)structural damage.

I'm sorry, but if you eff up someone's HOUSE with your car, you should be demoted to a tricycle.

wow! that's really wild! can't wait for pics.

lol funny stuff EM, "demoted to a tricycle".

oks... I gots beer now..

Its not like the car came into my house, but its bad enough that I cant secure the place. And theres apparent damage to the wall. Luckily she missed the corner by fractions of an inch, which would have caused serious structural damage. I'm gonna guess $3-10K at most on the house. ...which my house isn't worth much more than that. Not that its a dump or anything, just 150 years old to the year never really "improved" much(trying to keep taxes down). But now, I'll have to get a building permit, so my house will be re-appraised to 2008 prices versus the 1977 value/appraisal I was taxed on.

All I have is fire and contents coverage(couldn't afford more). Her insurance better cover it, otherwise Mr. Snyder might be getting a call.

I was about livid the whole way home, even more so when I saw it in person. I gotta give the officer credit though, he made some pleasant chitchat to settle me a bit.

[Dredly]

yeah no way you do that going 15 - 20. that thing hitting hte bottom of her car is typically called "the curb".

Sue her ass.

I'd love to read the cop's report. "Operator states she was talking with her friend on her cell phone, drinking a latte, and changing a CD. Said she didn't know how fast she was travelling because the car was spinning too hard and the loud bang when she hit the house scared her....."

[Bmaninmifco]

That sucks man. But at least you weren't sitting at home when it happened.

I remember back in HS my friend crashed a car after jumping a 14 inch high curb and demolishing a brick wall that was backed by dirt. That moron tried claiming he was only doing 25.
