Liquored-Up Teen Charged After Speeding, Going Airborne, Crashing Into Home’s Roof

A teenager has been charged after the car he was driving went airborne and crashed on top of a home in Yadkinville, North Carolina.

The 17-year-old was speeding more than 70 miles per hour. Troopers say the driver, identified as Tyler Caudill lost control, hit a tree stump, drove on top of the homeowner’s car that was parked in the driveway, and landed on top of the house. The car crashed into the living room and made the home unlivable.

The teen admitted to “consuming earlier” and had a blood alcohol concentration level of .02 roughly four hours after the crash.

At the time of the crash, firefighters say a family of four was inside: two adults and two children. None of them were injured.

The teen is facing two charges: driving after consuming under 21 and reckless driving. Both are misdemeanors. He’s due in court in July.
