    Correct me if I’m wrong, but saying ‘speed was a factor’ is kindof a generic catch all for “they were going too fast”

    like, you could be going ten under, checking the address number on your phone and still hit a stopped car. In that case, it was the distracted driving and not necessarily the speed.

      Yeah mentions of speed typically mean ‘over a safe speed (depending on conditions), or over the legal speed limit’

      The full report would likely list one or more secondary factors as well, such as collision with a fixed object or whatever actually helped launch this car into the air

      Sounds like this person wanted to ram the house so they floored it, but flying into the 2nd story was not planned
