Surveillance video of the crash that left a car in the second story of a Santa Ana building has been released and, well, holy shit.
Two people were injured after the car, which police say was driving at a very high rate of speed, hit the center median and “went airborne and landed into the building” at 5:30 am. You can see the crash in the video below and, man, that bus is just so close.

Police say there is a dirt mound on the center median that likely contributed to the car launching into the air.
