''Dukes of Hazzard' into my yard': No charges, citations after car sails over alley into backyard

WASHINGTON — Lori Black was in her bathroom "on her throne" when a car sailed over the back fence of her home and into her yard on Wednesday morning.

And the surprising thing was that Black was not surprised.

"I knew it was going to happen someday. She just (went) 'Dukes of Hazzard' into my yard," she said, adding that she sees and hears crashes on Telegraph Road a block away from her Lonsbury Circle home all the time.

She said she also previously had another car crash into her front fence after it got loose from a tow truck, nearly hitting a fire hydrant.

"We hear it all the time because there's accidents, and you can hear the sound. But this sounded, I want to say, more earthy, which sounds crazy," Black said.

Police said the black Hyundai Sonata flew from a parking lot, through a fence, over an alley and a wood-plank fence, and finally through a tree before landing in the backyard garden.
