Jan. 15 (UPI) -- A speeding car went airborne on Sunday, crashing into a second-floor dental office in Orange County after hitting a median on the street.

The Santa Ana crash, which caused the white sedan to catch on fire, left driver of the car dangling from the bottom of the vehicle until he could be rescued.
