"He went to make that right turn and hit that parked car. Went airborne and tore down a couple of trees and flipped up against the house," said Mark Cox, neighbor.

Mark Cox came running out of his home.

"I was first on the scene," Cox said. "First instinct we had was somebody was in that car."

Thinking someone might be hurt, he crawled around the vehicle but only saw airbags and smoke. Cox says the back window was broken out and he believes that's how the driver was able to walk away.
