Drunk's Airborne Car Rips Through 2nd Floor of House

A Long Island home lay in ruins Saturday after a speeding Jeep hit an earthen mound at high speed, jumped high in the air and smashed through a wall on the second floor.
    
The spectacular wreck happened just after midnight in East Moriches.
    
The big vehicle ripped a giant hole in the side of the house, then caused more carnage inside as it fell into a foyer on the first floor. It came to rest on its rear end with its headlights pointing skyward.
    
The one person in the house was unhurt.
    
The 20-year-old driver suffered minor injuries. A passenger walked away unscathed.
    
Suffolk County Police charged him with driving while intoxicated, reckless endangerment and criminal mischief.
