Moment car trying to make a turn goes airborne and crashes into a California home

8 months ago 26

This is the moment a car went airborne after it made a turn, flying through the air and crashing into a California home. 

The bizarre incident happened around 6.30am on April 4 and was captured on video by a neighbor's doorbell camera in Jurupa Valley, about 20 minutes from San Bernardino. 

After flying through the air, the black sedan landed on top of two white pickup trucks parked in the homeowner's driveway. 

The driver of the car was able to make it out of their vehicle before firefighters arrived. The driver was taken to the hospital with 'minor to moderate injuries.'

Richard Hernandez, who took the video, said the driver was speeding as they tried to make a left turn before careening into the house. 

Nobody inside the house was injured, but the home suffered 'major damage', along with four other cars, the Riverside County Fire Department said. 

Video of the surreal incident starts with a quiet morning as birds are heard chirping in the background. A couple minutes go by before a loud car is heard in the distance as it veers off the road, hops a curb and soars into the home's garage. 

Car alarms are then heard going off as debris from the crash goes flying, and one of the trucks in the driveway moves from the impact of the crash. 

In another clip, multiple police officers and firefighters are seen evaluating the aftermath, as the car dangles on its side. 

Riverside County Fire Department officials said the driver 'was able to self-extricate' before they arrived at the scene. 

'The driver suffered minor to moderate injuries and was transported to a local hospital via ground ambulance for further treatment,' the department said. 

The Riverside County Sheriff's office told DailyMail.com that the 'driver experienced a medical emergency' which caused the incident. No criminal charges were filed against the driver. 

Another car went airborne in the Golden State after a man drove the wrong way down a one-way street before he turned onto the Monterey wharf and plunged into the ocean. 

The driver, Martin Urroz, 21, of Fresno, was arrested and booked at the Monterey County Jail on multiple charges including driving under the influence of alcohol and evading a police officer. 

Monterey Police Department officers were walking down Alvarado Streeton April 7 when they spotted a green 1997 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck roaring around a corner, heading the wrong way on a one-way street.

As the truck turned onto Municipal Wharf II, a bustling pier teeming with restaurants, another MPD officer turned on his police cruiser's overhead lights to initiate a traffic stop.

The driver, later identified as Urroz, pulled to the right of the wharf and stopped. As the officer approached the vehicle on foot, the truck resumed driving, heading towards the end of the wharf 'at a high rate of speed,' according to police. 

The officer called for assistance and climbed back into his patrol car. He drove to the end of the wharf, where he suspected the truck was hiding behind a building.

Other officers arrived and parked their patrol cars to block the truck's exit. As they began to walk towards the end of the wharf, they heard calls for help from the ocean below.

Officers spotted the four occupants of the vehicle in the ocean and suspected they'd jumped in to evade police before realizing the Chevrolet Silverado was underwater. 

Police tossed flotation devices into the water and instructed them to hold on as they called fire rescue.

All four people were rescued from the water in a collaborative effort by MPD, the Monterey Fire Department and the United States Coast Guard.

Urroz was taken to the Natividad Trauma Center for treatment, while the three passengers only sustained minor injuries, police said.
