On Wednesday a 26-year-old man driving a Chevy Malibu at 100 mph launched the vehicle up an embankment, sending the vehicle 173 feet into the air and into the third floor of an apartment building.


Quote from the article:

The 2004 Malibu was completely destroyed by the accident, and the driver, Mentor, Ohio resident Carmen Ritacco, was pronounced dead at the scene. No one was present in the apartment that car flew into.

It is still undetermined what caused the Ritacco to drive into the embankment, which caused the vehicle the become airborne. However, tests will be conducted to determine whether alcohol or drugs could have played a role in the incident.



“His family was stunned, unable to explain it,” said Police Chief Michael Lazor.
