A roof can be damaged by many things—including, apparently, automobiles. When Joyce Kingsley heard a loud noise on the roof of her Michigan home, her first thought was of extreme weather. She certainly never anticipated what she saw on the roof of her home when she went outside: a Ford Mustang.
A driver has a medical problem while driving his car on Interstate 69 and lost control of his vehicle. Because of where Kingsley’s home is built, the roof is nearly level with the ground behind her home. According to police the car shot off the interstate and continued through several bushes, trees, and a fence before coming to a stop on the roof of Kingsley’s home.
Miraculously, the driver of the car was unhurt by the accident. To see pictures and quotes, check out the Chicago Tribune's article.
Kingsley plans to put a tarp over the roof damage until she can find a reliable roofing company to fix the damage.
