"At 9:12 a.m. Nampa Dispatch received numerous 911 calls reporting a vehicle had left the roadway and landed on the roof of a Nampa home in the 1000 block of E. Amity. Upon arrival, first responders found a car occupied by three adults on top of a house. The investigation is still ongoing, but it appears as though the vehicle was traveling westbound on Amity at a high rate of speed, failed to navigate a curve at Diamond Street, hit a berm in a private yard, went airborne, struck the chimney of one home and landed on the rooftop of a second home. No other vehicles were involved in the crash but there was damage to powerlines, causing a power outage that has since been restored."
