A young family in Sydney, Australia is incredibly lucky to be alive and uninjured after a car flew into the air, cleared a 7 foot fence, and landed upside down inside the roof of their single story house early Sunday morning, The Daily Telegraph reports.

The crash, which left seasoned police officers speechless, occurred at about 2 a.m. local time when a sedan left the eastbound lanes of a road, ran over a median strip, crashed through a traffic light pole and drove over a sidewalk.

But what would normally have been a routine traffic accident became jaw-dropping when the car hit a large ramp-shaped mound of dirt and took off skywards.

The car soared over a towering wooden fence, travelled through tree branches – then flipped – before being swallowed by the tile roof of Peter and Katy Arnold’s brick home.

That's a heck of a thing to wake up to. Similar to when I woke up in the morning a few months back to the sound of what I thought was the roof caving in. I was so delusional, I thought we had a raccoon or something trying to get in. Found out later in the day that the stuff in the attic was rattling around because of an earthquake. It was a little one, but sure did shake everything.

Can anyone say Donnie Darko? Would have been a tragedy if the 3-month old had been injured or harmed though.
