Evan Thomas Miller of Lewistown is accused of intentionally ramming his car into a home in the 800 block of Alfarata Road in Decatur Township at around 3: 15 p.m. on Aug. 6, according to Pennsylvania State Police. 

It's unclear if becoming airborne and landing on the second floor was part of his plan too. 

Rescue crews at the scene believe the 2006 Toyota Corolla struck a culvert next to the driveway which made it become airborne — propelling the vehicle into the second story of the home. 

The crews stabilized the home and covered the large hole with a tarp to protect the home from the upcoming storms, according to a statement released by Junction Fire Company.

Miller was taken to Geisinger Lewistown and his condition remains unknown at this time. The homeowners were evaluated at the scene and no injuries were reported.
