Tragic crash launches vehicle into the roofline of a two-storey home

One person is dead after a vehicle flew into the side of a home leaving the occupants of the home shaken.
It was a tragic crash, which could have been much worse after a vehicle launched into the roofline of a two-storey home before slamming to the ground.
The collision happened on Elginfield Road, west of Richmond Street and just south of Lucan, Ont. Sunday evening.
Paul and Eadiea Fleming were just heading inside around 8 p.m. Sunday after spending an evening on the back deck. That’s when they heard the crash.
“It was deafening,” said Paul Fleming, “It was something that would have happened in a tornado."
When they came around the corner they found a mangled vehicle in the front of the old farm house where they've been tenants since September.
Debris was scattered everywhere. Others arriving to the scene pointed out the damage to the home —which the Flemings hadn't noticed.
"I'd never heard of that kind of accident,” Eadiea exclaimed in disbelief, “Where a vehicle can become airborne."
