Car trying to make a turn goes airborne and crashes into a California home
This is the moment a car went airborne after it made a turn, flew through the air and crashed into a California home.
The bizarre incident happened around 6:30 a.m. 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 managed to get out of their car before firefighters arrived. The driver was taken to hospital with ‘minor to moderate injuries’.

Richard Hernandez, who recorded the video, said the driver was speeding as they tried to make a left turn before crashing into the house.
No one 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 few minutes pass before a loud car is heard in the distance as it swerves off the road, bounces off a curb and soars into the house’s garage.
Car alarms are then heard going off as debris from the crash flies and one of the trucks in the driveway moves from the impact.
In another clip, several police officers and firefighters are seen assessing the aftermath as the car dangles on its side.
Officials with the Riverside County Fire Department said the driver ‘was able to extricate himself’ before they arrived on the scene.
“The driver sustained minor to moderate injuries and was transported to a local hospital via land ambulance for further treatment,” the department said.
It is unclear if the driver was charged in the accident. DailyMail.com contacted the Riverside County Sheriff’s office for more information.
Another car blew up in the Golden State after a man drove the wrong way down a one-way street before turning onto the Monterey Wharf and crashing into the ocean.
The driver, Martin Urroz, 21, of Fresno, was arrested and booked into the Monterey County Jail on multiple charges, including driving under the influence of alcohol and evading a police officer.
Monterey police officers were walking down Alvarado Street on April 7 when they saw a green 1997 Chevrolet Silverado pickup roaring around a corner, going the wrong way on a one-way street.
On April 7, another car, driven by Martin Urroz, 21, flew off the Monterey Pier and crashed into the ocean after he drove the wrong way down a one-way street.
Officers spotted the four occupants of the vehicle in the ocean and suspected they had jumped in to evade police before discovering the Chevrolet Silverado was underwater

As the truck turned onto Municipal Wharf II, a busy pier teeming with restaurants, another MPD officer turned on his police cruiser’s headlights to initiate a traffic stop.
The driver, later identified as Urroz, pulled to the right of the dock and stopped. As the officer approached the vehicle on foot, the truck resumed driving towards the end of the quay ‘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 quay, 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 toward the end of the dock, they heard cries for help from the sea below.
Officers spotted the four occupants of the vehicle in the ocean and suspected they had jumped in to evade police before realizing the Chevrolet Silverado was underwater.
The police threw flotation devices into the water and instructed them to hold on as they called the fire rescue.
All four people were rescued from the water in a cooperative effort between MPD, the Monterey Fire Department and the US Coast Guard.
Urroz was taken to the Natividad Trauma Center for treatment, while the three passengers suffered only minor injuries, police said.
