(VIDEO IN EXTENDED ARTICLE)
Authorities say a speeding sport utility vehicle crashed landed on the roof of a St. Louis home after hitting an embankment and launching into the air.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that the driver was trapped in the SUV when authorities arrived Sunday afternoon. Michael Arras, the St. Louis Fire Department’s deputy chief of special operations, says he has never encountered anything like this before.
Crews carefully extricated the man from the vehicle and took him to a hospital. His condition wasn’t known, but fire officials say he was in and out of consciousness after the crash.
Homeowner Bruce Redding discovered the SUV on his roof when he returned home from the gym. The 66-year-old said that the “good thing is” he is alive.

Misleading Headline.
Sounds like you have footage of the actual incident.
Email dialog between me and my sister-in-law when i forwarded her this very profound news item:
ME: I guess if Hashem wants to arrange for two people to meet he can work it out, no matter how impossible we might think it.
SIL:
I just can’t help wondering how I would feel sitting in my car on someone’s roof. I mean, no one died, but you can’t call it a good day.
