"An SUV apparently lost control..."

Unexpected and unprecedented LSM thought process exposed (again).

The first floor is likely half underground. There also seems to be a berm in front of the house that can apparently be used as a ramp.

Good aim on hitting the window on the part of the SUV. Not that many bricks disturbed.

The sheriff called me one night at about 3:00 am to come check out my shop door. It was straight in line with a curve and a drunk missed the curve and continued straight ahead.

One of our pick ups was in the path and it forced the car into an airborne trajectory. It hit the shop overhead door square in the middle and took it out. The door header 12’ above the pavement was heavily damaged. The airborne vehicle was deflected slightly by the overhead door and smashed through an insulating glass rack and a block wall into the office.

The driver and passenger were both drunk and uninjured and in jail. Their insurance paid for the damages.

I was left with a 12’x 12’ hole in my shop in the middle of the night in 25 degree weather.

I had two other drivers coming from the opposite direction end up in the office. One was in an Austin healey Sprite and spun out, through the glass storefront and into the office where the skid marks indicated he was still spinning. He slung the office stuff all over.
