VIDEO: A South Jordan family was jolted out of their home Thanksgiving night after a car suddenly plunged over a steep edge and into their backyard.
The crash happened on 4000 West, in the area of 11000 South, around 11:30 p.m.
It appears the driver was taking his six nieces and nephews out for a ride around the block in his Tesla, according to reports from neighbors.
South Jordan police suspect the driver, identified in arresting documents as 37-year-old Sharanjit Singh Multani, was speeding when he lost control of his car and flew past the guardrail. What followed has neighbors thinking this was a miracle.
"It felt like the wall was failing in some way," said homeowner Jeremy Lindley.
The car didn't stop there — it flew down the 30-foot drop.
"I think it took all three trees out," said Lindley. "We didn't see any marks in the ground between here and there.
