German Driver Crash-Lands Car On Church Roof
"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 metres (115 ft) forward and straight into the church's roof frame, where it remained wedged 7 metres off the ground, police said in a statement.

...

Police said speed was a possible cause for the accident..."

Baring a botched alien abduction or something, I can't think of a way for this accident to happen that doesn't involve some insane amount of speed. :shrug:
