Jeez. How do you possibly screw up that badly? Alcohol or far too much speed is my guess. Probably both.

2 miles of straight road prior to the T into the waterfront road. I'd hate to have a house in a position like that.

Interesting how most of the Comments section is complaints about hamlets, villages, towns, and municipalities.

for the driver.

To go thru one cinder block wall is tough, to go thru is just shocking.

It could be a health problem or suicide attempt. No skid marks kind of eliminates just making a mistake.

I choose to believe something health wise happened. I pray he passed before he knew what has happening and didn't suffer there I the car over night.
May he rest in peace. Prayers for his soul, his family and loved ones. A young man gone to soon.

Sad, very sad. Like many I try not to go right to driver error. Hopefully we will see the reason.

The house and brick wall warning indicator was most likely defective, GM should recall all C6s until this travesty of manufacturing can be remedied.........

This^^^. Sounds like a heart attack. No skid marks? Either that or maybe suicide.
