SUV Crashes into House Roof after Mistaking Accelerator for Brake

We’ve all seen cars crashing through glass windows, demolishing the tables in a restaurant or the shelves in a convenience store.

But we bet that one homeowner couldn’t anticipate a car crashing through his roof on a calm Friday morning.

In Taizhou city of east China’s Jiangsu Province, an SUV lost control, skidding off of the road only to have the top of a house get in his way.

The homeowner said that he was startled by a loud noise, and then saw the car in his roof. The vehicle was embedded into the roof, and had to be extricated using a crane, while police had to help the driver out with a ladder.

The roof had caved in, and the front of the vehicle was dented.
