Heard about it earlier today. Thank God no one was in the house.

That’s not gonna buff out.

I saw that in the news. Guy must have been tearing it up to get that much air off a curb. 

[voyager9 3,434]

I read elsewhere that the accident happened around 230 but they weren’t found until 6. Occupants bled out. 
 

my first thought was that the amazon delivery drivers were getting too aggressive.

It was a two story office building, not a  house.

Check out the skid marks he left:

Dumb ass of the day contest ended very early today.

That is pretty F'd up.  I feel sorry for the passenger.  Thank god others weren't killed   

Damn raciing video games.  Where's that Schmuck Statist Governor?  Lets ban Corvettes and raise the driving age to 30  That poor young adult wasn't responbile.  Maybe we should hold the maker of the headlights accountable?

Epidemic?

Teen driver gets 3 years in 118 mph prom weekend... Those poor children in this vehicle.   I saw the medivac helicopter.  This broke my heart.

I wanna see/read the reconstruction of how they pulled that shit off?  That's like 200' from the curb.  Mofo had some serious hang time to get that distance.

The story made FNC. 

I'm guessing still drunk (or massively hung over) from Sat night, speed (at least 120)  and a deer were the ingredients for this crash.  Hooper Ave sucks most of the time but not so much that early on a Sunday morning.  There are no intersections or driveways where the skid marks start.  The curve ahead on Hooper was not that bad, but at 150, they could have just hit a patch of sand and went sideways.

The curb got the car off the ground, velocity and mass and a sloped embankment got it airborne.

The crash, which happened around 6:30 a.m., occurred near the intersection of Indian Hill. Skid marks could be seen across four lanes of the road leading up to the building.

EDIT: found the launch ramp.

Hey! That is my photo!

They say the crash happened at 630. A local said he heard the crash. I got the call at 8am and was on scene at 830.

The car jumped the median, then the curb, traveled about 100 feet down into this embankment and that was all she wrote. The car landed in building upside down and sideways. At the speed they were going, I wouldn't be surprised if the impact with the embankment killed them instantly.

Maybe they were trying to duplicate and recreate this jump:

Looking at the pics, they seem to catch air over the median and hit pavement again as witnessed by the skidmarks. That's some impressive physics to pole vault it off the curb 15 feet in the air. Looks like possibly upside down and backward to boot.

Holy knight rider Batman! That dukes of hazard level awesomeness!

Today, 2 families are in shock and immeasurable pain. They will soon be planning funerals - for a 22- and 23-year old -  young guys barely out of their teen years that had their whole damn lives stretched in front of them. Every ounce of love their parents poured into them - all of that potential - gone in a split second. I've always thought I had an above-average sense of humor, but damn, something like this is far too grim and tragic for me to laugh about.

I admit, guys... sometimes I don't get your gallows humor!

It’s a defense mechanism needed to move forward.

Harden up!?

Not that it matters, but it was reported the building was a former house turned into commercial building housing a realtor's office.

Factoring in the length and location of the skids marks, size and location of what sent the vehicle through the air, they had to be moving close to the car's max speed (I believe). I could not locate braking specs after a quick search; aside from that an upgraded brake system was a factory option.

One veteran cop on scene I was talking to off the record said he would guess the speed was around 140-150.

I think we can all take a lesson here:

 

If the big bad wolf had a Porsche when he got to the last little piggy's house he would have had enough Taylor Ham to go through two winters.

Got any more photos of the scene you can share?
