Police may charge man who drove car into Pennsylvania home

Authorities are considering pressing charges against a motorist who they say intentionally launched his car through the air and into a Pennsylvania home, leaving the vehicle dramatically dangling from the second story.

Evan Miller, 20, was identified by authorities as the man who drove his Toyota Corolla into a home on Alfarata Road in Decatur Township, Local 21 News reported.

Authorities now considering a slew of charges against the 20-year-old, including felony aggravated assault, felony criminal mischief with damage to property, recklessly endangering another person, harassment, reckless driving, careless driving, failing to drive at a safe speed and disregarding traffic lane.

Miller allegedly first crashed into a ditch before launching his vehicle through the air and into the side of the home.

He is currently in the hospital being treated for injuries.

No one else was harmed in the crash.

Shocking photos from inside the residence reveal the side of the car and the outside world where there was once a wall in a plaid-wallpapered room.

Broken wood and other building materials cover the floor, where an old treadmill is still standing, while a bed is flipped on its side.

A gaping hole was left in the top corner of the house after the car was removed.

Removing the vehicle from the home took about two hours, authorities said.

Emergency crews stabilized the building so that it wouldn’t collapse and helped the homeowners cover the hole with a tarp to prepare for incoming storms.
