The fire company said rescue crews stabilized the house and helped the homeowners put a tarp on the hole ahead of possible strong storms. 

Photos posted to social media showed the severe damage the car left behind after it got lodged into the second story of the house. 

According to CBS affiliate WTAJ, the fire company said the driver was speeding and veered off the road into a field. Because of an elevation change between the field and the house and the vehicle's speed, it became airborne before hitting the house. 

State police said charges are pending against 20-year-old Evan Miller, including aggravated assault and recklessly endangering another person, after an investigation showed the crash was intentional, WTAJ reported.
