What passing out speeding in a culdesac does to a house - eviltoast

Description from original poster:

Happened a year ago so we’re almost finished with construction.

My car was parked on the right side on the break in the concrete. He was going 45-50 mph and pushed it over 5-10ft of concrete, through a windstorm certified garage door, and into a filled garage.

If my car hadn’t been there he would’ve driven right into one of the front bedrooms.

Had the pictures pop up in my memories and decided to share the crazy experience!

    People often try to get to the hospital when they know they’re crashing.

    I will say that, anecdotes what they are, a friend got a concussion in 1992 in a mild soccer collision but seemed fine; but they think it contributed to his later accident with his car, as the stress and constant awareness required for driving caused a near blackout where he wasn’t able to stop the car in time before he lost focus. And, on the highway, it can be a few seconds to stop properly, and he just didn’t have enough time. He saved for years to buy a beautiful car, too, and it was all gone. Thankfully he survived and lived until covid.

      Man, what a roller coaster of a story. Glad he made it out of that wreck okay at least.
