A man driving over the speed limit went airborne in Fresno this morning, and landed his car on the roof of a house.

The suspect, 26-year-old Benjamin Tucker, was speeding through the neighborhood on Wednesday when officials say he hit a tree stump and was launched into the air, coming to a perfectly aligned stop atop the building, reports KSEE 24 News.

The car, a Saturn, was allegedly stolen, and Tucker is reportedly wanted for several outstanding warrants, including assault with a deadly weapon and terrorist threats. KTLA reports that Tucker fled the scene in his boxer shorts and was apprehended nearby.

No one was seriously hurt, although Tucker suffered some cuts and a broken leg. The car was removed from the roof with a crane and tow truck.
