Police said the driver was alone in the 2009 Toyota Camry during the fiery 12:40 a.m. wreck. No one inside the home on 61st Road in Flushing was injured. Car crash injury – none, AMAZING.
“I was laying in bed and heard screeching,” said neighbor Tony Kullawattana, 29. “All of a sudden the whole house shook.”
Kullawattana, a car salesman, ran from his home to find the burning car flattened against the house next door and brickwork scattered on the porch and lawn.
“He hit the light pole, destroyed the porch and somehow flew over my car — and didn’t touch it!” an amazed Kullawattana hollered.
Kullawattana’s urgent 911 call summoned police and firefighters, who squelched the spreading flames.
Stunned neighbors mulled outside in the rain as the driver’s charred body lay under a white sheet outside the neatly tended Tudor-style home, where the twisted remains of the victim’s car lay on its side, smoking.
A parked Nissan Pathfinder was also damaged in the wreck.
Residents of the block said the stretch of 61st Rd. along the Horace Harding Expressway is especially dangerous and that cars often collide with lamp posts and trees.
“I wouldn’t even let my kids play outside,” said retired police officer Albert LaGuer, 47. “We need a stop sign or lights or a big bump to slow you down.”
