A Mustang ended up on a second-floor balcony after a wild crash in Chino early Tuesday morning.

Prelininary investigation showed the car was traveling at a high rate of speed when it crashed through a fence and careened into a riverbed around 12:30 a.m.

The car was then launched onto the second story balcony causing extensive damage to the house, KTLA reported.

Four people in the car suffered serious injuries and were transported for treatment.

The homeowners were awaken by the crash. "And so I go downstairs and I'm in just shorts, and there is glass all over, and all of the sudden Annie yells, 'there's a car in the window!' It was just like surreal," homeowner Steve Kobzeff told KCAL.
