Car crashes into barn roof in Germany, seriously injuring two people
Police in northwestern Germany on Sunday said that several people were injured when a car veered off a road, hit a seven-year-old boy on a trampoline and went flying into a barn roof on its side.

Authorities reported that the vehicle initially crashed into a stationary car in Bohmte. It subsequently smashed through a hedge, entered a garden, and struck a young boy.

The vehicle then traversed bumpy terrain, which seemed to launch it airborne, eventually landing on the roof of an adjacent barn approximately 3 meters (10 feet) above the ground.

The boy was seriously injured, the police statement said.

The driver was an unidentified 42-year-old man, and his wife was also seriously injured.

Their two sons, ages 11 and 12, and a 13-year-old passenger were also on board, who, like the driver, emerged with minor injuries.

Dozens of firefighters, as well as a dozen ambulances and two rescue helicopters were among the emergency services deployed in response.

Images from the scene showed rescuers cutting through the roof, and wreckage of a playground that the car ran through.

The car had to be removed from the roof with a crane and was carted away by police.

An investigation was underway.
