SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) – Authorities say two people escaped serious injuries when the car they were in went airborne and slammed into the second floor of a dental office in Southern California.
The Orange County Fire Authority says 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.
Photos show the sedan’s front half wedged inside the building while the back half hangs 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 will try to determine if drugs or alcohol played a role in the crash.WHAT OTHERS ARE CLICKING ON
