THIS is the shocking moment a car flew through the air and smashed into the roof of a local veteran’s hall for the second time in just three months.

The Clay-Ray Veterans Memorial Hall in Excelsior Springs, Missouri, was still repairing its roof when a driver lodged their vehicle in it again.

Locals first spotted a car lodged in the roof of the hall back in February

However, just three months later on a Wednesday morning, a driver experienced a medical emergency, resulting in their vehicle veering off the road and crashing into the exact same area of the roof.

“We turned down here and a car is embedded in the roof again,” Rusty Harrington, American Legion Vice-Commander told ABC News affiliate KMBC.

Shocking footage shows the moment the car goes airborne before colliding with the roof of the building scattering debris everywhere.

The engine can be seen being launched out of the car due to the impact and disintegrating as it hit the ground near the building’s flagpole.

Other footage from the road it came off shows what remains of the vehicle lodged in the side of the roof.

“If that engine comes out, I can’t imagine how a person wouldn’t be ejected from the car if they weren’t wearing a seatbelt,” Lt. Ryan Dowdy of the Excelsior Springs police stated to the outlet.

Driver Corrie Wright, 56, who was later identified by cops as an Excelsior Springs resident was able to walk away from the crash to an ambulance.

According to family and police reports, he had a seizure while driving at around 7:20 am local time, which led him to swerve off the road and into the building.

Wright was volunteering for the Good Samaritan Center and was on his way to drop off food when he had the seizure.

He suffered minor to moderate injuries and will not face any criminal charges as a result the Excelsior Citizen reported.

Posting to Facebook, the veterans organization said, “Here we go AGAIN!! Round 2.”

Locals joked in the comments asking, “Have yall considered putting a ‘No Parking’ sign up there?”

Another suggested repairing the roof and adding in a ramp “that redirects cars back onto the road like a loop-de-loop kind of thing”.

The organization quickly went back into fundraising mode for a second time by advertising t-shirts for sale with all profits going towards repairing the hall.

A GoFundMe page has also been launched with the group thanking locals for their “overwhelmingly positive response”.

The first crash in February was caused by a suspect fleeing a traffic stop at high speed.

The 22-year-old’s vehicle ended up smashing through the roof and landing in the kitchen.

Two teenage passengers were seriously injured while the driver had non-life-threatening injuries and faced criminal charges.

Repairs on the roof were not complete when the second crash took place.

“We do the best we can around here. Any help from the community or anything would be greatly appreciated,” Harrington added.

Following the latest incident, the Clay-Ray Vets Club board immediately held a meeting with the local council about preventing such crashes in the future.

The construction of barricades or protective barriers were reportedly discussed, per the Excelsior Citizen.

“Though it might seem like a recurring issue, these are very unique situations,” Lt. Dowdy said.

“One was during a police chase from a driver trying to evade capture; the other was possibly due to a medical condition.”

He added that the VFW which has owned the building for over 80 years confirmed this is only the second time such an incident has occurred.
