FUNNY CAR ACCIDENT: German police are investigating the cause of an accident which left a car suspended nearly 25 feet off the ground, halfway through the roof of a church. How somebody managed to put a station wagon into the church rafters is still undetermined.The accident took place in Limbach-Oberfrohna, just outside of Chemnitz, Germany. Police believe the 23-year-old driver was racing through the center of town when he lost control of his Skoda Octavia, careened off an embankment, and wound up wedged in the church seven meters up.
One police officer told reporters at the scene, "the driver took off due to unexplained circumstances, flew some 30 meters through the air and ended up seven meters up in the church roof."
Investigators believe the car's speed led to the driver missing a turn. Just how the vehicle went airborne is still a bit of a mystery. "I've never seen anything like it," continued Officer Knut Wagner.
The driver of the Skoda Octavia was extracted from the vehicle, and transported to the hospital with serious injuries. Damage to the vehicle has been estimated at €10,000. Meanwhile, the town's church was badly damaged from the accident, but the cost of the damage has yet to be assessed. Investigators have requested the assistance of physicists in the accident reconstruction.
At its most powerful, a stock Skoda Octavia can get up to 197 hp and 207 ft-lb of torque from a 2.0-liter four-cylinder 16-valve TFSI vRS engine. With that engine, and no other tuning, it has a top speed of 150mph, and a 0-60mph time of about seven seconds.
In a statement released earlier today, Chemnitz police said that the officers “must have thought they were looking at a movie.” Remarking on reports that claim the car missed a bend, crashed through a railing, and plowed into an embankment, they said, “The embankment worked like a ski jump.”
Police and medical workers will carry out testing on a blood sample taken from the driver to determine if alcohol or drugs played a role in the incident.

He behaves just like a nonsense person. I still cant believe that how he jumped so high and fixed in the church roof.

WOW.

Just 1.209, actually. He didn't made it to the future.
April 22, 2009 10:38 AM
Actually he wouldn't need to be going that fast. Assuming he hit the church at the apex of his flight, he would only need be be doing 69mph (111) on a 20 degree ramp. http://www.calctool.org/CALC/phys/newtonian/projectile
A bit of additional velocity would be needed to overcome air resistance.

DO A BARREL ROLL.

If Jesus had been driving it would all be perfectly clear - the second coming in which the departure point was high, much higher than the roof of the church. Which makes me wonder what Jesus would drive.
April 22, 2009 7:03 PM
Wow good thing he hit the church 7 meters up and not 6 (into the brick wall)

May 24, 2009 5:33 PM
i definately think the 50/50 weight distribution is why he crashed so comically. in a lesser eco-ride he would have smacked his roof into the roof (xzibit meme?) and crushed himself
May 24, 2009 5:36 PM
maybe he was trying to talk to 'the guy upstairs'

From that picture it looks a little hard to believe that the car could have gotten that much height. Maybe just the view?
February 12, 2010 12:08 PM
Wow! That's crazy!

Act of God ??!!!
Clearly an act of Allah!
