*A Pennsylvania man was hospitalized after crashing his car into the second floor of a home in what police say was an “intentional act.”
As TooFab reports, the incident went down on Sunday afternoon in Lewiston, where firefighters with the Decatur Volunteer Fire Company found a Toyota Corolla crashed into the upper floor of a house.
According to News Channel 8, the driver, 20-year-old Evan Miller, was removed from the car and transported to Geisinger Lewistown Hospital by Fame EMS.
Miller was traveling at a high rate of speed and veered off the road into a field, according to Junction Fire Company. Between the field and the house, the elevation changed and the vehicle became airborne before hitting the house.

“The raise and elevation from the bottom and top of the culvert was enough to give the vehicle the ability to clear the vehicles in the driveway and land in the second floor of the house,” Sam Baumgardner, the administrator of the Junction Fire Company told the Post.
There were three people home when the crash occurred, but none were injured.
State police determined that the crash was intentional, but according to the Washington Post, investigators provided no additional details, “such as a motive for the crash and whether Miller knows the family that lives there.”
After stabilizing the home, crews helped the homeowners put up a tarp ahead of upcoming storms.
Miller was charged with aggravated assault, recklessly endangering another person, and criminal mischief, Complex reports.
He faces five to 20 years in prison if convicted of aggravated assault.
