Matrix vs. house

Post by joatmon »

what no New Brunswick regional forum?anyway, http://canadaeast.com/apps/pbc...20069Quote »...The tree was tastefully decorated with holiday ornaments, but several were lying on the carpeted floor, some of the more delicate ones smashed into many pieces.There was no obvious reason why the tree was shedding its ornaments. But anyone who looked out the front window of the top floor duplex apartment on Waverly Avenue could see what shook the tree.On the front lawn, directly under the living room window was the back end of a Toyota Matrix. The front end had smashed through window and brick and was hanging in the living room of the basement apartment....

Went through a brick wall and doesn't look like a whole lot of damage to the front end.

Thin brick walls with old mortar will fall apart easily when they get hit. Even though, it still means the person that went through the brick wall is an idiot. I'm not a fan of christmas, but I'm jealous my vibe doesn't have "Christmas Tree Seeking" capabilities. Must be a Toyota option.

Can't make out the brand of tire... notice how the back of the car is banged up to? Wonder what it hit before driving into the house.
