The phrase "crashing into a building" took on a new meaning Sunday when a car in Southern California hit a center divider, went airborne and plowed into the second floor of a dentist's office.
Images taken by the local fire department show the white sedan partially wedged into the building, its rear exposed as it tilted to one side.
Captain Stephen Horner, a spokesman for the Orange County Fire Authority, said officials received a call about a crash in Santa Ana, California, at about 5.30am.
The car was traveling at a high speed when it hit the concrete median. Horner said the driver was not driving parallel to the divider; instead it was coming from a side street and slammed into the median, much like a T-bone crash.
The impact sent the car into the air and into the small office building. Horner said a small fire was immediately extinguished.
