Car Goes Airborne, Slams Into Second Floor of California Office
Authorities say two people escaped serious injuries when the car they were in went airborne and slammed into the second floor of a Southern California dental office.
Orange County fire officials say the Nissan Altima hit a center divider early Sunday, soared into the air, and plowed into the top floor of the two-story structure in Santa Ana.
The sedan’s front half was wedged inside the building while the back half hung out about 10 feet above a sidewalk.
Officials say a small fire injured one person who managed to get out of the car unassisted. Authorities had to rescue the second person.
Crews will use a crane to remove the car from the building.
Investigators are trying to determine if alcohol or illegal substances played a role in the crash.
