How did someone damage to do that much damage due to, I'm assuming here, some sort of automobile driving error? or was it a fully laden cement truck? Semi?
Abrams?

He hit at 50+ miles an hour. I have a cement retaining wall to control the water drainage about 20ft from the house; he hit this launching him into the air. He impacted the house about 3ft above the ground, and got half the car in the house. The pumas display was right where he hit sending it flying across the room.
The impact also destroyed the supporting arch for part of the second floor causing part of a room to sink into the room below.
He would have probably gone completely through the house if not for the retaining wall, and the old style construction of the house (solid oak 4x4's for wall studs with solid oak siding). Still the damages for the houses structure are over $100,000 as a large part of it needs to be rebuilt just to be safe. Currently the building is condemned until it can be properly fixed.
