Moment car trying to make a turn goes airborne and crashes into a California home
This is the moment a car went airborne after making a turn, flew through the air and crashed into a house in California.
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 was able to get out of his vehicle before the fire brigade arrived. The driver was taken to hospital with ‘minor to moderate injuries’.

Richard Hernandez, who shot the video, said the driver was speeding when they tried to turn left before driving into the house.
No one in the home was injured, but the home suffered “major damage,” along with four other cars, the Riverside County Fire Department said.
The video of the surreal incident begins with a quiet morning, as birds chirp in the background. A few minutes pass before a loud car is heard in the distance, veering off the road, jumping the curb and crashing into the house’s garage.
Car alarms then sound as debris from the crash flies and one of the trucks in the driveway starts to move from the impact of the crash.
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 scene.
“The driver suffered minor to moderate injuries and was transported by ambulance to a local hospital for further treatment,” the department said.
It is unclear whether the driver has been reported for the accident. DailyMail.com reached out to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office for more information.
Another car went airborne in the Golden State after a man drove the wrong way down a one-way street before crashing into the Monterey wharf and 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 eluding a police officer.
Monterey Police Department officers were walking along Alvarado Street on April 7 when they saw a green 1997 Chevrolet Silverado pickup roaring around the corner, heading the wrong way on a one-way street.
On April 7, another car driven by Martin Urroz, 21, flew off the Monterey wharf and crashed into the ocean after driving the wrong way on a one-way street.
Officers spotted the four occupants of the vehicle in the ocean and suspected they had jumped in to avoid police before realizing the Chevrolet Silverado was submerged

As the truck pulled into Municipal Wharf II, a busy pier lined with restaurants, another MPD officer turned on the overhead lights of his police cruiser to initiate a traffic stop.
The driver, later identified as Urroz, drove to the right of the dock and stopped. As the officer approached the vehicle on foot, the truck resumed its journey and drove “at a high rate of speed” toward the end of the dock, police said.
The officer called for help and got back into his patrol car. He drove to the end of the dock, 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 started walking to the end of the dock, they heard calls for help coming from the ocean below.
Officers spotted the four occupants of the vehicle in the ocean and suspected they had jumped in to avoid police before realizing the Chevrolet Silverado was submerged.
Police threw flotation devices into the water and instructed them to hold on while they called the fire brigade.
All four people were rescued from the water in a joint effort between 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 suffered only minor injuries, police said.
