How the HELL did you manage that?!

A German motorist missed a bend in the road, broke through a barrier and hurtled up a bank, crash-landing on a church roof in eastern Germany, police said on Monday.

The bank acted like a springboard, propelling the black Skoda about 35 meters (115 ft) forward and straight into the church's roof frame, where it remained wedged 7 meters off the ground, police said in a statement.

"We've never ever had a case of a car landing in a church before," said Frank Fischer, a spokesman for Chemnitz police in the state of Saxony.

The 23-year-old driver suffered serious injuries. The damage to the car, which was extracted from the roof by a crane, amounts to about 10,000 euros ($13,000), police said. The cost of damage to the church has not yet been estimated.

Perhaps, he was searching for that infamous "highway to heaven". Must have been quite a stop!

That is unbelievable - just imagine being the guy who took that call. "Hello? A crane? Why? What do you mean a car in the roof? Have you been drinking?!"

That is kinda cool, with the exception of the injured driver.
