Sewing tutorial videos have become immensely popular across all age groups, appealing to retirees looking for a new hobby as well as children and young adults. This particular hobby has generated abundant content on popular platforms such as Pinterest, TikTok, and YouTube. However, a video recorded by Jen Wesner from North Port, Florida, went viral for an entirely unexpected reason – a car crashing into her house.

In the video, which was uploaded to Reddit, a Toyota Corolla breaches a stop sign while Wesner is giving a sewing demonstration. The car propels through her front lawn and collides with her house, positioned directly in line with the T-intersection. The impact knocks over a stained glass decoration from the window and a painting from the wall. Startled, Wesner quickly glances out the window before rushing outside to offer help.

Upon reaching the crashed car, all Wesner could see were deployed airbags. Thankfully, the driver managed to escape unharmed, and the house sustained minimal damage. Prior to smashing into the house, the car collided with the curb in front of Wesner’s residence, causing it to become airborne momentarily. It then made contact with the ground, absorbing the majority of the impact before eventually colliding with the house. Wesner mentioned that the curb and the sloping lawn likely prevented more extensive damage to her home according to the assessment by the police.

The Corolla was being driven by a delivery driver who expressed sincere apologies for the accident. It is yet to be confirmed whether the driver received a ticket from the police. However, RR&BD Driving School requested permission to use the video as a learning example for an “epic fail.” While not as dramatic as an airplane crash landing on a highway or a Rolls-Royce Dawn landing on the beach, this incident attracted enough attention to warrant coverage by Jeanne Moos on CNN.

Regarding the Toyota Corolla involved in the incident, it appears to be a model from the current generation that debuted in 2018. Equipped with a standard 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine delivering 132 horsepower, the sedan may not be as exhilarating as the GR Corolla hatchback. Nonetheless, it features front and side curtain airbags and has received a five-star overall safety rating from the NHTSA.
