• "As authorities investigate how the car got to the second floor of the house, Baumgardner said the fire company believes Miller hit a culvert, or a tunnel carrying a stream, next to the house that caused it to go airborne.
  
  “The raise and elevation from the bottom and top of the culvert was enough to give the vehicle the ability to clear the vehicles in the driveway and land in the second floor of the house,” he said.
  
  State Police did not share additional details of the incident, such as a motive for the crash and whether Miller knows the family that lives there. Photos shared by the fire company showed the destruction caused by the crash, including a massive hole in the second floor of the house that was exposed once the vehicle was removed."

• 17th Street Dental 2nd Floor Crash

Where we did a quick comparison msmac3D simulation of 45 MPH vs. 55 MPH launch speed for the vehicle.
A colleague who lived near that crash site did a quick cloud scan which we used to simulate the launch and crash.

If anyone has a cloud scan or good elevation topography of the crash site in this latest crash, please provide and we can qickly perform a speed analysis to determine the approximate speed of the vehicle.
